This set features many celebrities who were popular in the 1950s and beyond and was issued by Snap Gum in 1959. Benny Hill, pictured in this set, was a very popular English comedian. His infectious cheeky humour, songs and impressions kept him on British television screens for 40 years. He had many high profile fans, including Charlie Chaplin, Michael Jackson, Burt Reynolds, Michael Caine and Mickey Rooney. Unfortunately, Hill became one of the many comedic victims of the rising wave of British political correctness and alternative comedy during the late 1980s. Following the cancellation of his show in 1989, Hill’s health declined and he died just a few years later.

This card set also features other English comedians, such as Arthur Haynes and Tommy Trinder. Two of England’s most loved comedy actors also make an appearance, including Bernard Bresslaw, who was a regular on the much loved British “Carry On” film series and Terry Thomas, famous for his portrayal of disreputable members of the upper classes.

This set also features several popular music stars, including Connie Francis, the top-charting female vocalist of the 1950s and 1960s; Pat Boone, who was the second biggest charting artist of the late 1950s, behind only Elvis Presley; and Lonnie Donegan, the “King of Skiffle”, who influenced many of the famous British bands of the 1960s.

The first half of the set includes photographic style images of the celebs and the 2nd half shows the same celebrities again but in the form of dot-to-dot images for the recipient to trace through to reveal the stars.
