Anthony Newley Facts
Was nominated for six Tony Awards: four in 1963 for "Stop the World -- I Want to Get Off," as Best Actor (Musical), and, with Leslie Bricusse, as Best Author (Musical), Best Composer and Lyricist, and for book, music and lyrics of Best Musical nomination; and two in 1965 for "The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd," as Best Director (Musical), and, again with Leslie Bricusse, as Best Composer and Lyricist. He did not win any of these awards.

His daughter with Joan Collins is singer Tara Newley.

Newley was raised by his mother Grace and a stepfather, whose name was Ronald Gardner. The latter wound up in Beverly Hills working as a Chauffeur for London Towne Livery Service LTD, owned and operated by actor Gerald Peters. Newley searched with the help of a detective and found his real father George Kirby and bought him a house in Beverly Hills, in the hopes that he would reunite with Grace--but it was not to be. Sammy Davis Jr. later bought or leased the house which can be seen in an episode of the original "Charlie's Angels" (1976). Newley's stepfather's subsequent wife, Lucy, worked as a housekeeper for Newley's partner Leslie Bricusse for many years. Leslie traveled a lot and rarely lived in his Beverly Hills house so Lucy maintained it while Leslie rented it out in succession to Natalie Wood, Peter Sellers, Michael Caine and Yul Brynner.
