Acting life and romance

Havers' first acting job was in the radio series Mrs Dale's Diary and he subsequently went onto working for the Prospect Theatre Company initially 'carrying a spear and making cups of tea' as he puts it in his autobiography. From an early age Havers had an eye for the ladies and he describes his experiences with an early leading lady, Maxine Audley thus: "I was in her dressing room doing whatever she asked me to, and I mean anything and everything. Maxine Audley ( 29 April 1923 &ndash 23 July 1992) was an English theatre and film actress. One afternoon I sauntered into her dressing room, still in my officer's kit, only to find a similarly clad new member of the cast rehearsing what I had perfected over the past few months. My time was up. She blew me a kiss and I slid away. Actually, I was rather relieved, I needed a rest".

After his theatre work, Havers slid into a period of acting unemployment, during which time he worked for a wine merchant.
