ABOUT Bruce Forsyth:
Sir Bruce Joseph Forsyth-Johnson, CBE (22 February 1928 - 18 August 2017) was a British presenter, actor, comedian, singer, dancer, and screenwriter whose career spanned more than 75 years. In 2012, Guinness World Records recognised Forsyth as having the longest television career for a male entertainer.[1] Forsyth came to national attention from the mid-1950s through the ITV series Sunday Night at the London Palladium. He went on to host several game shows, including The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right, The Price Is Right and You Bet!. He co-presented Strictly Come Dancing from 2004 to 2013
Forsyth's showbiz awards include Variety Club Show Business Personality of the Year in 1975; TV Times Male TV Personality of the Year, in 1975, 1976, 1977 and 1978; and BBC TV Personality of the Year in 1991.[47][48]
On 7 June 1959 Forsyth was inducted into the elite entertainers' fraternity, the Grand Order of Water Rats, Water Rat number 566.[49]
In 1987, a fan club was created - the Great Bruce Forsyth Social Club.[50] They would later go on to assist Forsyth in singing his opening number, "It's Never Too Late", at his Audience With show.[50] He repaid this favour by adding the society to his busy schedule in June 1997 and appeared at their 10th AGM in Plymouth.[51]
Forsyth was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1998 Birthday Honours,[52] and Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2006 New Year Honours.[53]
On 27 February 2005, the BBC screened A BAFTA Tribute to Bruce Forsyth to mark the entertainer's 60 years in show business.[54] He had a bronze bust of himself unveiled at the London Palladium in May 2005. The sculpture was created by his son-in-law and is on display in the theatre's Cinderella Bar.[54]
In 2008, Forsyth received the BAFTA Fellowship.[55] In 2009, he was awarded the Theatre Performer's Award at the annual Carl Alan Awards. Hosted by the International Dance Teachers' Association, the awards are voted for by the leading dance organisations in the United Kingdom and recognise those who have made an exceptional contribution to the world of dance and theatre.[56]
Forsyth received a Royal Television Society Lifetime Achievement Award on 17 March 2009.[57] On 26 January 2011 he received the National Television Awards special recognition award.[58]
Forsyth was made a Knight Bachelor in the 2011 Birthday Honours for services to entertainment and charity.[59] This followed a years-long public campaign to award him a knighthood. His investiture, by the Queen, took place on 12 October 2011 and he became Sir Bruce Forsyth CBE.[
