Dick Richards

Dick Richards was a journalist who covered entertainment and showbusiness matters, sometimes in a Sunday Pictorial column called 'The Bright Lights'. He appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 8 March 1965. In 2012 a collection of photographs was found in a house clearance, showing Richards in the company of stars such as Charlie Chaplin, Burt Lancaster, Marilyn Monroe, Ginger Rogers, Frank Sinatra, and David Niven.
