Dick Richards (journalist)

Dick Richards was a journalist who covered entertainment and showbusiness matters, sometimes in a Sunday Pictorial column called 'The Bright Lights'.

He appeared as a "castaway" on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 8 March 1965.[1]

In 2012 a collection of photographs was found in a house clearance, showing Richards in the company of stars such as Charlie Chaplin, Burt Lancaster, Marilyn Monroe, Ginger Rogers, Frank Sinatra, and David Niven.[2]
