Romany Bain (nee Evens, 22 March 1924 – 29 March 2015) was a British journalist and showbusiness interviewer.[1] In the 1960s and 1970s, she worked as a features writer for She magazine and the Daily Mail.[1]
Bain was born in Carlisle, England, to Eunice (nee Thomas)[2] and George Bramwell Evens. Evens was a Methodist minister who, under his pseudonym Romany, later worked for the BBC as one of the first wildlife programme presenters, with Eunice as his assistant and script editor.[1]
From 1948 to 1962, Bain was married to the theatre critic and biographer Kenneth Bruce Findlater Bain, who used the pen-name Richard Findlater. They had four children. One of their sons became an Anglican priest-clown known as Roly Bain or "Holy Roly".[3] She subsequently married the jazz bandleader Tommy Watt, with whom she had a son, the musician Ben Watt.[4]
