A Special Thanks must go to contributing editor William Brown for submitting these photos and information on each of these actors / actresses. Many of them were regulars and some were actually guest stars. I have added links to the Internet Movie Database where I could find them. Hope you can find many of those stars you've been wondering about and maybe a few you hadn't thought of. If you don't find what you are looking for, fear not. This section will continue to expand. Thanks again to William Brown, who wrote all of the information. I have also taken this section and put all of the entries in alphabetical order. If you are looking for someone specific, simply place your cursor on the links on the right hand side of the page. A caption will pop up letting you know which names that link will take you to. Enjoy!

Adam Johnstone

IMDB Entry

From the April 27, 1988 edition, Adam Johnstone, son of Hill's Angels' choreographer Libby Roberts. Was in the last two TBHS series and the New York special.


Lovely Brendan Keaney

Brendan Keaney

From the "Joggers" sketch of April 27, 1988, a screengrab of Brendan Keaney; in that same sketch, he also played the jogger with the Olympic torch whose flame was blown out by Henry McGee. He had an uncredited role as a dancing sailor in the 1979 film version of Shakespeare's The Tempest. As of 2007, Mr. Keaney is the director of the Greenwich Dance Agency in England, and has a page of his own on at greenwichdance.org.uk - unfortunately, his appearance on TBHS is not listed there.


More proof that Roger Finch and Jon Jon Keefe are not one and the same:

Jon Jon Keefe Photo

Jon Jon Keefe

IMDB Entry

Mr. Keefe, from the Feb. 10, 1982 Hill's Angels Street Party segment. Note how the two men's hair was parted (and colored) differently, Mr. Finch's face was somewhat slightly longer, while Mr. Keefe had a somewhat more pronounced chin. Also, Mr. Finch's voice was somewhat more nasal.


Lovely Sarah (Gypsie) Kemp

Sarah (Gypsie) Kemp

IMDB Entry

The lovely Gypsie Kemp, as seen here during the "Autumn Fashion Parade" series of bloopers from her only TBHS appearance, Oct. 25, 1972. Some months prior to this show, the Australian-born actress played a "UNIT Radio Operator" in Parts 1 and 2 of the 1972 Doctor Who episode "Day of the Daleks." Since c.1981, she's been known as Sarah Kemp, by which name she is listed in the IMDb; she is probably most famous for her role as "Charlie Bartlett" on the Australian soap opera Sons and Daughters on which she appeared from 1982 to 1987, and her most recent credit was as "Hilary Vette" in a 1993 TV-movie, Mercy Mission: The Rescue of Flight 771. An interview with Ms. Kemp, with a picture from her Sons and Daughters days, can be found on www.sonsanddaughters.co.uk. She is not to be confused with the wife of James Brady, former Press Secretary to President Ronald Reagan, turned gun control advocate.


Lovely Valerie Kendall

Valerie Kendall

Here is Valerie Kendall as part of the singing duet "Two's Company" when they performed on the Oct. 28, 1970 show.


Anthony Kenyon Photo

Anthony Kenyon

IMDB Entry

A photo of Anthony Kenyon as taken in 1969 and published in an early 1970's edition of The Spotlight (London). His credits range from TV shows of the period such as Crossroads, The Onedin Line, Z Cars and Softly, Softly: Task Force, to such films as The Playbirds (also featuring, in a supporting role, onetime TBHS player Suzy Mandel) and Keep It Up, Jack (with another TBHS girl, Jenny Westbrook, in a minor role). Was credited on Mr. Hill's Dec. 27, 1972 special; in all likelihood he was one of the patrons who went to the Funboy Club towards the end after the lights on the sign "Striptease Cabaret" read as "Tea Bar" and Fred Scuttle was shouting, "No, you won't like it!" Some of his film and TV credits bill him as Tony Kenyon.


Len Keyes Photo

Len Keyes (1910-1993)

IMDB Entry

Len Keyes, seen here from the April 25, 1984 Hill's Angels Workout number. He made bit appearances, either credited or uncredited, as early as 1974, but at the time of this show was being floated as a potential replacement for Mr. Wright whose health by that time no longer allowed him to come to England to participate in TBHS tapings. His only other known TV credit outside TBHS was as an "Old Man" in a 1988 episode of 'Allo, 'Allo.


Lovely Sharon Kiel

Sharon Kiel

IMDB Entry

Sharon Kiel, as seen in the "How Will I Know" portion of the "Hill's Angels: Playgirl Club" segment of Jan. 13, 1988. This was her only credited TBHS appearance.


Lovely Diana King

Diana King (1918-1986)

IMDB Entry

The late Diana King (1918-1986), veteran British comedy actress. Her previous connection to Mr. Hill was appearing in a few episodes of his 1962-63 BBC sitcom anthology Benny Hill. Alas, this appearance was to be her only Thames TBHS episode (she's seen here, just about to call out "Ich liebe dich"), let's just say that she was more prominently featured in the Fawlty Towers episode "The Wedding Guests," where she played Mrs. Lloyd.


Lovely Julie Kirk

Lovely Julie Kirk

Julie Kirk

IMDB Entry

Here are two pics of Ms. Kirk from The Spotlight, one from the 1979/80 (top) edition and the second from 1984/85 (bottom). Appeared as a receptionist in the 1978 film What's Up Superdoc! which also had TBHS soon-to-be mainstay Sue Upton (qv) in the cast; she was also among once and future Hill's Angels as one of the dancers in the 1984 flick Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.


Joanna Kirkland Photo

Joanna Kirkland

IMDB Entry

Joanna Kirkland, daughter of the final producer of TBHS, Dennis Kirkland. Was the only one of the 'Little Angels' to go on to an acting career after Benny's long run came to an end; her post-Hill credits include guest appearances in the TV series Holby City and films such as Children of the New Forest and Witness of Truth: The Railway Murders.


Bogdan Kominowski Photo

Bogdan Kominowski (b.1945)

IMDB Entry

Actor and singer Bogdan Kominowski, from the end of the "Dolly Fins" musical number in the "Hill's Angels: Club Bizarre" segment from Jan. 16, 1984 (Benny was to his right, Jon Jon Keefe to his left). His appearance on this show, needless to say, was uncredited. In the late 1960's he was a singer who performed in New Zealand under the name "Mr. Lee Grant." Film credits include Flash Gordon and the James Bond movie A View to a Kill. Also played the later-years, jumpsuit-wearing Elvis Presley in a London stage production, Elvis: The Musical in the late 1970's.
