Description
This is a black and white photo of the festival director Dermot Breen standing with the English comedy actor Ronnie Shiner and others. The group, dressed for a cold day, all smile for the camera with Dermot Breen, on the far right, hand in pocket.
Ronald ‘Ronnie’ Shiner stands on the far left of the photo with his arm over the shoulder of his companion. Shiner (1903-1966) was a British stand-up comedian and comedy actor who worked on the stage, as well as television and film. He has an extensive filmography and a career highlight includes the stage version of Worm’s Eye View (1945 to 1947) followed by a film version in 1952 with Diana Dors. In 1962, around the time this photo was taken, he had made a TV version of Worm’s Eye View for the BBC. Shiner was the subject of This is Your Life in 1958 when he was surprised by Eamon Andrews at the BBC Television Theatre. Reportedly he insured his distinctive nose, with Lloyds of London, for $30,000.
While this photo is marked 1960, the RTÉ archive has a news broadcast, dated 17 September 1962, of Shiner attending the opening of the festival with the German actor Ingeborg Schöner.
