  1. Oliver Reed claimed to be the descendent of Peter the Great of Russia via an illegitimate branch of the Tsar’s family tree. Be that as it may Ollie did definitely come from an acclaimed artistic family as he was not just the nephew of the great director Sir Carol Reed but Oliver was also the grandson of the famous theatrical manager and thespian Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and his mistress Beatrice May Pinney.

    Marlon Brando and James Cahn were fond of “mooning” each other on the set of 1972’s Godpop. So Oliver Reed appeared intoxicated on a television show and was discussing mimicking other celebrities when he said to the interviewer “Here’s my Brando impersonation.”

    Whereupon Ollie jumped up and pulled his trousers and underwear down and pranced about before the cameras mooning the audience. He and the television channel were criticised for the lewdness of the exhibition.

    He had a habit of bad-mouthing/mocking fellow celebs with for example in a Sunday newspaper over here referring to Jack Nicholson as a balding midget. Good actor and quite charismatic on screen was Ollie himself though. “Voted Up!”
