[Knut Willersrud]

Scott, I’m not sure there exists an English manuscript. Colin Douglas told his story to a Norwegian journalist whilst staying at mountain cabin in Norway (according to the book).
The manuscript might have been written in English first and then translated though.

Apparently it was never picked up by an English-language publisher. 

So an English-speaking actor’s memoirs were translated into Norwegian and published there. The French movie actor who played the Native American character Winnetou had his memoirs published in Germany, where the German-origin books and movies were spectacularly successful. There was never a French version.

Talk about a prophet being without honor in his own country....

Which raises the question: doesn’t anybody have the Colin Douglas manuscript? Or has it been lost? The translation had to come from some source.

  Hi Knut
  It would be a lovely read but I don’t think we have it in the UK

  That’s great to hear, Tim. I can assure you that Colin Douglas was extremely popular here and I think he was here several times. He watched the last episode of FAW in Norway together with a Norwegian family.  It was published a book about him and the series “Mitt liv og min rolle” (My life and my part), it’s a biography really with lots of pictures (I guess you have it?). I browsed through it again and there are some very cool pictures of the Douglas family  . There are also several pictures of the other cast and John Finch and his family.

  I can only add to John's reply, that I don't recall my dad ever being on any chat show in the UK ,with reference to a FAW,( or anything else  for that matter -unfortunately ) but then, I did not know that he was on any Scandinavian chat shows either , so this was fabulous to see -thank you so much Knut  (I have forwarded the link to my brothers) I think he did go to Norway several times, as he made friends with people there on the first visit (during which they were mobbed and treated like superstars !)
