June Whitfield

She is a supporter of AFC Wimbledon. Amsterdam died of a fatal heart attack in Los Angeles at the age of 87. Their daughter, Suzy Aitchison, is also an actress. Amsterdam's most famous role may have been as comedy writer Buddy Sorrell on The Dick Van Dyke Show (1962-1966), a role suggested for him by his friend Rose Marie, who also appeared on the show. She was married to husband Tim Aitchison for 45 years until his death in 2001. Among his guests was a song and dance man named Art Carney. June was awarded with an OBE in 1985 for services to her profession and a CBE for similar reasons 13 years later. Beginning in 1948, he appeared on the radio show "Stop Me If You've Heard This One" and began hosting his own television show, "The Morey Amsterdam Show." The latter was replaced in 1950 by a variety and talk show called Broadway Open House, television's first late-night entertainment show, on the DuMont Television Network.

She has also appeared as the housekeeper on Friends and was acclaimed for her performance as Miss Marple on BBC Radio 4. During the 1930s, Amsterdam hosted a radio show and also wrote songs, including "Why Oh Why Did I Ever Leave Wyoming" and "Rum and Coca-Cola." By 1947, he was performing on three daily radio shows. In more recent times, she was personally sought out by writer Jennifer Saunders for her sitcom Absolutely Fabulous to play lead character Edina's mother. His enormous repertoire and ability to come up with a joke on any subject earned him the nickname "The Human Joke Machine.". A minor parody of this title was concoted by Julian Clary for his Channel 4 sitcom Terry And Julian, and June was recruited to play a role in this. After being caught in a gun fight, Amsterdam moved to California and sought work writing jokes. She is best known, however, for playing the wifely half of a partnership with Terry Scott in BBC sitcom Terry And June, which initially began under the title Happy Ever After and ran from 1974 until 1988 (though the surnames for the couple were changed for the relaunch of the new title). By 1924, he was working in a speakeasy operated by Al Capone.

June is one of the few surviving stars of the Carry On films, appearing in four of the movies. He was also a cellist, a skill which he used throughout his career. She was in the BBC radio series Take It From Here as Eth, Ron Glum's fiancee; and is a long-standing participant in the topical series The News Huddlines with Roy Hudd. Born in Chicago, he began working in Vaudeville in 1922 as the straight man for his brother's jokes. Mainly known for comic roles, June starred in many radio comedies in her early career, playing opposite male comedians, such as Frankie Howerd and Tony Hancock. Morey Amsterdam (December 14, 1908 - October 28, 1996) was a veteran television actor and comedian, renowned for his large, ready supply of jokes. June Whitfield (born London, November 11, 1925) is a highly-respected veteran British actress who has worked constantly for more than 50 years.
