For many decades, Jess Conrad has been known as an actor, a singer, and the vainest man in showbiz. The English entertainer had three hit records in the early 1960s and has starred on stage and screen since 1955.
He is the subject of an upcoming profile on Talking Pictures TV and will star in BBC soap Doctors. But the way he talks, you would think he was Elvis Presley and Brad Pitt rolled into one.
“I’m appreciated. I’m loved. I’m the last of the real stars, I think,” boasts the 86-year-old, who even often refers to himself in the third person.
