Secret Places. By the early s, Winner found himself in great need of a successful film and accepted Charles Bronson 's request to film Death Wish II , a sequel to the hit. Bronson had already signed a lucrative deal with Cannon Films , independent producer of exploitation fare and marginal art house titles. The sequel, co-starring Bronson's wife Jill Ireland , considerably increased the violence to more graphic levels.

Winner said the film was 'the same, but different', to the original. Here the look of LA is what's different. Besides — rape doesn't date! He also produced the film Claudia , doing some uncredited directing and editing. Winner was reunited with Bronson and Cannon for Death Wish 3 , which — although set in New York City — was mostly filmed in London for budgetary reasons.

Winner produced and edited. Winner produced, edited and directed; but despite a strong support cast including Lauren Bacall and Carrie Fisher , the film flopped. After Cannon Films entered bankruptcy, Winner confined himself to British productions. He produced and directed an adaptation of the Alan Ayckbourn musical play A Chorus of Disapproval with Anthony Hopkins , and also wrote the script with Ayckbourn.

Winner's final film as director was Parting Shots , which he also wrote, produced and edited. The film was critically reviled and flopped commercially. His autobiography Winner Takes All: A Life of Sorts was published by Robson Books in , it largely describes his experiences with many big-screen actors. Winner also featured in television commercials that he himself directed for insurance company esure between and , with his trademark catchphrase "Calm down, dear!

It's just a commercial! He was the subject of This Is Your Life in when he was surprised by Michael Aspel while dining with friends at a central London restaurant. Winner appeared in the first series of The Apprentice UK. He agreed to participate in a charity auction, offering dinner for four and two bottles of house wine at "London's most difficult restaurant to get in," The Ivy.

Winner became engaged to Geraldine Lynton-Edwards in They had met in , when he was a year-old filmmaker and she was a year-old actress and ballet dancer. On 1 January , Winner acquired the bacterial infection Vibrio vulnificus from eating an oyster in Barbados. He almost had a leg amputated and was on the brink of death several times. The dish is not recommended for those with a weak immune system, and in retrospect Winner regarded his decision to eat it as "stupid".

Thirty-six local memorials honouring police officers who died in the line of duty, have been erected since , beginning with that of Fletcher in St. James's Square , London. The National Police Memorial , opposite St. Winner remained prominent in British life for other reasons, including his outspoken restaurant reviews. His fame as a restaurant critic was such that, at a Cornwall cafe, an unconsumed piece of his serving of lemon drizzle cake was incorporated into the Museum of Celebrity Leftovers.

Winner was an outspoken character. Winner was praised for having liberal views on gay rights, in particular during an episode of Richard Littlejohn Live and Uncut , where he attacked the presenter who had been in the midst of an attack on two lesbian guests for his stance on same-sex marriage and parenting, going so far as to say to him "The lesbians have come over with considerable dignity whereas you have come over as an arsehole.

In a interview with The Daily Telegraph , Winner bemoaned political correctness, and said that if he was Prime Minister, he would be "to the right of Hitler". Following that he said "No immigration! Shoot anyone who commits a crime! Shoot people who park in the wrong place in front of my garage! I would be ferocious. And believe me, it's needed.

Winner was an art collector, and a connoisseur of British illustration. Winner spent his free time gardening "my garden is floodlit, so I quite often garden after midnight" or with a string of girlfriends, notably the actress Jenny Seagrove. Nothing has really changed. In an interview with The Times in October , Winner said liver specialists had told him that he had between eighteen months and two years to live.

He said he had researched assisted suicide offered at the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland, but found the bureaucracy of the process off-putting. Several stunt men allege Winner was an abusive and dangerous director on film sets to his crew. In one instance, on the production of Death Wish 3 , Rocky Taylor alleges Winner created a dangerous and deceptive work environment that led to him being severely injured during a stunt.

However, Taylor says Winner turned up the height of the flames while cameras rolled without consulting him. She is best known for her role as Tessa Phillips in the British television drama series "Ghosts. She was discovered by a casting agent at the Elmhurst Ballet School, who was looking for a young English girl for a film. While she didn't get the expected role, the casting agent recommended her to the producers of the film "East of Sudan" Her natural talent led her to more significant roles, such as in David Greene's horror film "I Start Counting" in In , Agutter deliberately stepped away from the film industry to focus on raising her son and other work.
