Actor, Don Hawkins - Bambi rang me before massacre about hearing gods voice...

[lookout]

Hello lookout think I have upset petey because I said he had no people skills and was bad mannered as I thought I was the brazen one.  I have said sorry but think he is ignoring me.  I do hope he can forgive me for being so rude to him

Hi Susan,,I'm afraid I haven't got any time for those who can't display people skills.It's by no means clever to speak down to anyone,least of all insult them into the bargain. I find it somewhat weak.
I only do apologies when I'm in the wrong,,but, however, I'd certainly apologise to everyone else for peteys' behaviour,even though it's predictable when aimed at myself,as the rest of the forum has to see it,and it's never pleasant.    But hey-ho,,onwards and upwards.

I wonder if Sheila did use her big toe on the trigger of the rifle,,because of the chunk of toe-nail that was found. I can't think of any other way that a toe-nail injury could have happened,,certainly not without ripping the whole nail off anyway.

Lookout hello, that's a strong possibility but if she was walking around without her shoes on, it's equally possible that she flicked the edge of her nail against something, like a child's toy perhaps. I once did, and part of the nail chipped away. Actually, it was quite lucky for me because the nail was ingrown and difficult to cut.

Hi April,,the toe-nail was quite jagged ( on the actual toe itself ) in which the injury looked as if it had been done with something on top of the nail,as opposed to her having tripped, whereby it would have cut across by catching the side of the nail.
I can picture it in my mind,,but it's hard to explain.
The toe-nails are usually kept low-cut anyway,in order not to tear-off or ingrow. The injury to Sheila was directly on top of her nail,,and it would have bled too.

Sorry but who on earth is Don Hawkins?

Sorry but who on earth is Don Hawkins?

Caroline, from what I can make out he was a "bits" actor. We're not talking Guilgud or Brannagh. No idea how she got to know him.

An actor,,Caroline,though I don't know anything about him. I did mean to google it,but forgot.

You can see him briefly in this episode (6.45) - don't blink though!!

Have bumped this thread! A younger Don Hawkins,does anyone else think he looks familiar,or is it just me being suspicious? He was a professional musician working all over Europe before he became an Actor.

[lookout]

Yes,he does look familiar,tyler. This is maybe why Sheila rang him,with a similar picture in her mind from years prior.  The poor girl was always living in hope,,while balancing precariously on a knife-edge.

Have bumped this thread as I dont feel that Mr Hawkins claim got the attention that it deseved. I had read the article wrongly and hadn't realised that Mr Hawkins had referred to SHEILA as his ex girlfriend. I wonder if anyone else has ever interviewed this guy? I feel it was significant that Sheila is alleged to have rang him on the night of the murders claiming that she could hear voices etc,surely a sign of an impending psychotic episode? Or indeed in the midst of one? Mr Hawkins certainly felt that Sheila was capable of the murders if she had felt that her relationship with her sons was being threatened. It is interesting that this was also stated by one of Sheila's psychiatrists. Two people that would have known Sheila very well. Maybe Jackie,you could track this guy down for more info? Im not assertive enough lol.Lovely to see you reposting on here btw!
