His pantos became legendary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis divas and dames were so good they were beyond description. Baxter was a most brilliant cowboy Coward, a smouldering Dietrich. He found immense laughs as Formby and Liberace. And his sex-starved Tarzan swung in a way Hollywood could never have imagined. But who is the real Stanley Baxter? The comedy actor's talents are matched only by his past reluctance to colour in the detail of his own character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, the man behind the mischievous grin, the twinkling eyes and the once-Brylcreemed coiffure is revealed.
