Dirk Bogarde, one of Britain’s most celebrated actors, was once warned by MI5 that he could be the target of a gay “entrapment” sting by the KGB, according to newly-declassified intelligence files.
The documents, released to the National Archives in Kew, west London, reveal that Bogarde was informed in the 1970s that his name appeared on a list of “six practising British homosexuals” reportedly passed to the Soviet intelligence agency.
