utside Vidal Sassoon 171 New Bond st. salon in 1966. Sean Jones and Mich Field
Mich Field and Sean Jones ham-ing it up for the camera (you can see the actor in Mich already) and in the back ground is the MGB that belonged to (john) Allan McKeown the film director who was a stylist in 1964. I remember him saying that he could not live if he made less than thirty pounds a week. We lived in another world then, and someone was offered a second hand old Bentley motor car for 200 pounds. A four bedroom house was about 6000 pounds in Hammersmith. 4 miles from the center.
