NO ADVERTS!
Michael Gough (1916 - 2011)
Michael Gough, our beloved Alfred Pennyworth has died today. He was 94 (or 95 - he was never sure).
Gough was married four times – his third wife being Doctor Who actor Anneke Wills. Wills had encountered him at various times during her life – firstly during a theatre trip with her mother in 1952 – but they first met formally, on the set of ‘Candidate for Murder’ and the attraction was instant. Gough adopted Anneke’s daughter Polly, and in 1965, their son Jasper was born.
Wills said: "As his body was deteriorating this week, he said that he wanted to hang on for St Patrick’s Day. And he did, just. In the end... there is only love."
Michael Gough leaves his wife Henrietta, his daughter Emma and sons Simon and Jasper (Yogi).
His grandchildren Samuel and Daisy are also actors.
Released in February 2011, ‘All Star Superman’ features one last outing for his legendary and unique voice.

Batman and Batman Returns star Michael Keaton paid his respect to Michael Gough, the man who played loyal butler Alfred to his Bruce Wayne/Batman in two films.
“To Mick-my butler, my confidant, my friend, my Alfred," Keaton said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "I love you. God bless."
The actor signed the note: "Michael (Mr. Wayne) Keaton.”
Keaton referred to Gough as a "sweet and charming man."
