The Story of Steve Marriott

His musical ability and attitude impressed the show's producers. He enjoyed performance enough that his parents pushed him to become an actor. His school friend Ken Horz talked about it many decades later, saying he had meticulously planned the whole thing months in advance. There was no malice against other pupils, he just wanted to burn the damn school down. Almost all of this early acting work was utterly ephemeral,. But there are a handful of his performances that do survive, mostly in films including Heavens Above with Peter Sellers.
