Born Jack Waters, his acting talent was encouraged by his father and by his sisters Elsie and Doris, who were to become showbiz personalities in their own right. After some time spent in the motor-racing world - in which he rose from being a garage hand to becoming a Brooklands driver - Jack became involved with Garrison Theatre, the wartime radio show that kept Britain chuckling through those terrible years.
