Who was Franklyn Cole?
Star
of the silver screen in the golden age of cinema, hazel-eyed crooner
and swashbuckling lover. You will best remember Franklyn for his
role as Charlie Black, mnemonic triple-agent breaking hearts in
occupied Paris in Edmund Kape's classic 1944 film: The
Man Who Couldn't Forget. But as you shall discover this
was merely a thread in Franklyn's long and colourful tapestry.
We will
be publishing exclusive episodes of the Franklyn Cole story, adapted
from the late actor's personal diaries recently discovered stashed
beneath the floorboards of his former South London nursing home.
Franklyn Cole
in the notorious 'Melody Room' Bar on Sunset Boulevard in 1946.
