It can’t be certain that Alexandre Dumas would have enjoyed it or quite understood what had happened to his tale of treachery, honour and sword fighting but in the latest movie adaptation of his novel The Three Musketeers comes around with frightening predictability but with the story bought up to date to meet the needs of a 21st Century audience.

For his fans and the greater acting world, the news that Simon Ward, a star of The Tudors, Young Winston and Three Musketeers has died after a long illness at the age of 70 will be a terrible blow and one that will take a long time to heal.From Beckenham and the son of car dealer to the national fame as Winston Churchill in Richard Attenborough’s Young Winston may be a far-fetched leap of the imagination to make.  However, for Simon Ward, who even from an early age wanted to be an actor, nothing it seems was going to get in his way to become one of the most sought after actors of his generation.
