I don't remember who said this: "When we are born, we have the face nature gives us. When we are old, we have the face we deserve." Martin Shaw's face becomes much more interesting -- and he becomes much more handsome -- the older he gets. You look in his eyes and you can see forever. One of the few people in life who I would have loved to have gotten to know in depth.

[@yvonnecrean8415]

He is just gorgeous - dearly loved in Australia - every show is wonderful.

[@PatriciaRossi]

His eyes!

[@mawas6801]

What a lovely tribute, it really encapsulates Martin's career and reminds us of what a versatile actor he is. Thanks too for providing a list of the clips you used, I would have been tearing my hair out trying to identify some of the more obscure ones! Cheers! x

[@lexie1215lf]

I would match Martin Shaw with any actor past or present including Olivier! His versatility and ability to make any character he plays in any medium real, believable and a scriptwriters gift. Thank you for your sharing and entertainment Martin. I am about your age so have the experience and some knowledge of fair judgement. 😉🌟❤️😗

[@lindanorris2455]

[@mo66f33]

Thank you so very much for all your work to share this rare material to the world! Martin Shaw is my favourite actor. Capable to play ALL kind of roles. Just thought he would be a great John Nash in "A beautiful mind". I remember seeing him in "Helen" when I was very young. Though he was supposed to be the "bad" husband there I sympathized with him, cause the pain of "Frank" touched me deeply. Shaw was simply too good! LOL. I've started to get books on CD by him and got a rare MC by ebay. I'm thinking of digitalizing it, too. Maybe we can get in contact? And I am so happy to have got "Ladder of Swords" on DVD from Denmark. Such a wonderful film. I love this little, soft love scene, that is so convincing, although we csn only see the face of that wonderful actress. What accent is Martin playing there? I cannot identify it. Kindest regards from Germany. Mo.
