I had conversations with Johnny Hallyday in Paris in the mid-sixties and in Vienna in the nineties and found him courteous and approachable.

I guess approachable also applies to Christine Keeler, whose demise was also announced this day. She frequented the Kenco Coffee Shop which was a hangout of mine back in the days of the Profumo scandal, and we may well have passed the time of day. But I abhorred the gangland low-lifes with whom she seemed happy to be associated, the notoriously rapacious slum landlord Peter Rachman and the East End crooks Ronnie and Reggie Kray.
