By the way, do you have a photograph of your father you would be prepared to release under the GNU Free Documentation License (see Copyrights for details) and add to the article? I created the original article, am an admirer of your father's work, and would help with the actual adding if needed. Filiocht | The kettle's on 07:36, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

 * The top image of Joan White is incorrectly labeled “Not published”. No one knows whether it was published, but it probably was, in Spotlight the actors’ directory. If it is not, Spotlight would certainly have other pictures of her. This will require some transatlantic inquiries.
 * All my pictures are publicity material. Attached to the picture of James Mason is a detailed and cogent presentation of why publicity photos are in the public domain. I note the article This Happy Breed presents a picture with the same rationale that I have used. So that is settled.
 * It has further come to my attention that the pictures Junior Miss, A Phoenix Too Frequent, Waltz of the Toreadors, You Never Know and This Happy Breed are all scans from newspaper pages (The Sketch, Tatler, Berkshire Eagle (twice) and The Times). The tag
