I was Richard Harris' choice to write him a hit (he pestered me day in, day out; adored Moon). I kept refusing so he finally went to Jimmy Webb (who once nicked my Moon idea for a song of his own).
There's this actor who's been in a few TV series - including Mad Men - with a very distinctive, quite reedy voice, and it was only about a year ago that I discovered he was Richard's son. Jared Harris. Once you know it, the connection with his father is the voice.
Oh yes I knew the sons slightly way back then - and after Richard's death, Jonathan Aitken, another prison person, married his widow Elisabeth. Jonathan and I have attended several meetings.

Didn't she also marry Rex Harrison? I think she once said of him, 'He's the only man I know who sends the wine back when he dines at home'.
