A real hunk if ever there was one is the mouth-watering Simon MacCorkindale – just look at those eyes! Simon’s been doing a lot of film work recently, not least of which was working with Michael York, but for TV coverage it had to be his role in that gripping series “Quatermass” that kept us all glued to and panting around our TV screens!
20 October 1979
Gorgeous Simon MacCorkindale who’s starring in the exciting if a little horrifying, series “Quatermass”, is one of those men you meet who are almost too good to be true – tall, dark blond hair and very, very handsome! And just to finish things off, he always looks impeccably dressed and he’s always smiling . .
You can meet Simon in any number of difficult situations but never see him being bad tempered. Whatever he may be feeling under that suntanned smile, it never shows.
Basically, Simon just has to be everyone’s idea of the perfect Englishman, and he’s certainly ours!
When I spoke to Simon at his home he told me that he’s trying very hard to lose this public school image.
“Although it is difficult,” he said, “because I went to public school.My whole background is typical of the image – public school and then the Army.
So you’ll realise that the decision to become an actor was a fairly difficult one.
It was a bit of a shock for my parents, but I must say that after the initial horror was over they took it pretty well. I suppose they had to, really, because by the time I told them, I’d definitely made up my mind!”

Down the Nile with Hollywood’s living legendsSimon MacCorkindale has been told many times to change his name. It’s unwieldy, hard to remember and won’t look good in lights, are some of the arguments he’s heard and rejected.
No one has ever suggested that he change his face. It’s literally his fortune in Death on the Nile. MacCorkindale, however, is less convinced about his appeal.

Simon MacCorkindaleSimon MacCorkindale must be one of the few actors who have turned to Charles Bronson with the words: “Oh, you great butch creature, you!” and lived to tell the tale. As it was, Charlie, laughed and appreciated the joke from the young Englishman who was recently awarded the ‘Evening News’ most promising newcomer accolade for his work on ‘Death On The Nile’ and ‘Riddle Of The Sands’.

Simon MacCorkindaleA few months a ago, Simon MacCorkindale, 27, was voted the most promising new comer for his performances in Death On The Nile and Riddle Of The Sands. The success clearly thrilled him but left him pondering on how to keep on top
“Talent is in the eye of the beholder. I’ve been very lucky and had a lot of breaks, but I still feel it’s no harder to be a success than to be a failure because there are no rules for finding success. You have to make them yourself and be rational. And then you find remaining there is almost harder than getting there.”
