David Kernan/Kenneth Williams
The trivia section says that Williams refused to speak to Kernan throughout the shoot but doesn't give a reason. Anyone know why?

shareHe refused to give him a BJ.
Kernan was the butch guy with the outrageously gay friend in the film, right?
"Live long and prosper"
[In reference to Kenneth Williams during the filming of Carry on Abroad (1972)] He ignored me completely during the entire six weeks of filming. Even afterwards when I got chummy with Hattie (Hattie Jacques), who would invite me every year for Christmas day and Kenneth was always there and he still never spoke to me. He totally ignored me and then to my complete surprise he wrote some very sweet things about me in his diaries. (2003)
His most famous role was in Zulu and he got paid £500 for his role in carry on - quite a lot in those days i reckon but sadly he never went anywhere acting wise but appeared in loads of tv series.
He was gay so go figure.
Ken was like that, unfortunately. Probably insecurity on his part. He refused to speak to Lorraine Chase when they started rehearsing a play together but they later warmed up and he became quite friendly with her. I love his work but I think he was easier to admire than like. He could be prickly with colleagues as his diaries attest.
