Simon Cowell - where did it all go right?
A television producing company came to Dover College to interview Simon Cowell's Housemaster at the time, Mr George Matthews. The crew came with a small hand held camera and took various shots of the grounds and buildings, including Leamington House where Simon used to board as a boy. The show was recently broadcasted on Sky television and can be viewed on You Tube. Looking back, Dover College has produced a number of very talented people in the world of arts. Tyrone Power Snr, Anglo-American actor; Sir Frederic Ashton, Choreographer for the Royal Ballet; J-Lee Thompson, film director (the Guns of Navarone); George Lam, Honk Kong film star and singer; Michael Kuhn, film director; Guy East, film producer of Terminator 3 and finally Simon Cowell himself.
