Circus Playboy (1934-2005)

Living a playboy life from his 46ft-long living trailer, he would receive members of the Royal family, such as Princess Margaret. Had a number of well-publicised liaisons with glamorous women, including Jayne Mansfield, Diana Dors, Shirley Bassey and the busty singer Sabrina, to whom he gave a leopard called Chico.

From the notes on the back of the Mail photo:

Pet leopard for Sabrina  23 Feb 1958

Actress Sabrina is pictured with her pet leopard called Chico at Billy Smart's Circus winter quarters at Winkfield, Berkshire, this afternoon.  Bill, junior, a genial, stockily built 24-year-old, who recently went to Paris with her, gave her the leopard.

1922 - 2006

This is a really strange one: Sabrina claimed they were engaged.  He denied it.  Most odd! Read the entire peculiar tale from 1962.

Before he was a local lounge institution and Jimmy Durante's sidekick, it was King who introduced Dean Martin to Jerry Lewis in the 1940s. In the 1960s, he ran with The Rat Pack.  He died of cancer in February 2006, aged 83

The brunette is June Wilkinson, and Richard tells me the man is Tommy Yeardye (18 July 1930 - 21 April 2004) of whom Sabrina supposedly said "Tommy can have the key to my safe any time he wants."

I have no evidence that they were romantically attached. Tommy was famously entangled with Diana Dors. For more details, visit the "Sabrina With..." page.

We do, however, know that Sabby and June were natural enemies!
