Title: Victor Spinetti
Post by: beatlemaniac on December 31, 2008, 01:29:47 AM

I had the pleasure of meeting Victor Spinetti a few summers ago at Fest in Vegas. He has the most amazing stories, the best sense of humor, but the thing I liked most about him was his positive outlook on life. When I listened to him talk I wrote down a bunch of things he said because he was so inspiring, and wouldn't you know it I have lost everything I had. But I loved that he had nothing but love for the Boys, and you could tell they had an immense respect for him, too. Definitely the most inspiring Beatle person I have met!

So lucky!  That is a wonderful story.  I wish I could see Victor Spinetti in person, or even attend the Fest in Las Vegas.  It's been more than 10 years since my last Beatlefest.

Victor Spinetti tells how he saved Ringo Starr from drowning

Apr 5 2009 by Nathan Bevan, Wales On Sunday

THEY were the band that changed rock and roll forever.

But as a new exhibition of unseen Beatles photos goes on display in London, one of their closest pals has revealed how it could have been over before it all began.

Speaking at a huge Fab Four fan fest in New Jersey, Blaenau Gwent-born actor Victor Spinetti described the day he averted disaster and saved their drummer Ringo Starr from drowning.
