Misc: ionel Blair is best known as a panellist on Give Us A Clue. He was born in Canada and came to Britain when he was two years old. His first public performances were with his sister Joyce in London Underground Stations and air raid shelters during World War II. He attended the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford in 1944, followed by London's University of East London, where he studied Ethnography. Blair eventually rekindled his passion with musical theatre and joined the West End. He gave up acting for dancing in 1947, although he subsequently appeared in the fringe production, Out of the Blue and Who Killed Agatha Christie? among other acting credits. He soon made a name for himself in the West End and choreography became his forte. He formed Lionel Blair and His Dancers � regulars on TV variety shows in the 1970s and 80s. "I had to grow up fast," he says. "We had no money so I had to work." Lionel also appeared in The Beatles' movie A Hard Day's Night, and worked with stars like Peter Sellers, Phil Silvers, Ella Fitzgerald, Bob Hope, Peggy Lee and Yul Brynner. He also formed a life-long friendship with Sammy Davis Jnr after they performed together in the 1961 Royal Variety Show.
