Larry Grayson
Larry Grayson , born William Sulley White, was an English comedian and television presenter who was best known in the 1970s and early 80s. He is best remembered for hosting the BBCs popular series The Generation Game and for his high camp and English music hall humour.
Grayson was born William Sulley White in Banbury, Oxfordshire, in 1923. His parents were unmarried and he never met his father. When Grayson was ten days old, his mother, Ethel White, arranged for him to be adopted by Alice and Jim Hammonds in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. He had two adoptive sisters, Flo and May. His adoptive mother Alice died when he was six years old, and he was brought up by his eldest adoptive sister, Flo, with whom he lived for much of his life. It has been reported that his mother stayed in touch with the family and was known to Grayson as Aunt Ethel throughout his childhood, until he discovered her true identity in later life.
