John Bindon

He played a violent mobster alongside Mick Jagger in Performance (1970), a London crime boss in Get Carter (1971), and a prisoner with Paul Newman in The Mackintosh Man (1973).

[2] Through Hodge, the daughter of a baronet, Bindon gained access to British aristocratic circles, which culminated with his meeting Princess Margaret in the late 1960s, at her home on Mustique in the Caribbean.

He was believed to be running protection rackets in west London pubs and was alleged to have connections to the Kray twins and the Richardson Gang.

In the late 1970s, in addition to acting work, he provided security for actors and musicians, most notoriously for Led Zeppelin on their 1977 US tour, where he was dismissed for brawling backstage.

Bindon pleaded self-defence and was acquitted, but the case damaged his reputation, and that, coupled with being seen by directors as difficult to work with, meant his acting career declined.

Director Ken Loach, spotting him in a London pub in 1966, considered him perfect for the role of a rough husband in the film, Poor Cow (1967).

His next big break came the following year with a role in Performance (not released until 1970) alongside Mick Jagger, where he played a violent mobster.

[3] Bindon's name was also linked with a succession of models, including Christine Keeler,[2] the former Playboy "Bunny Girl" Serena Williams,[2] and also Angela Barnett, then girlfriend and future wife of pop star David Bowie.

Upon arrival at the stadium, it is alleged that Bindon pushed a member of promoter Bill Graham's stage crew out of the way as the band entered via a backstage ramp.

Bill Graham's security man Jim Matzorkis was accused of slapping Peter Grant's 11-year-old son Warren for taking a dressing room sign, and was savagely beaten up.

However, Graham refused to honour the letter and assault charges were laid against Grant, Cole, Bindon and John Bonham when the band arrived back at their hotel.

However, the defence argued that Darke's death was in self-defence, saying Bindon was in fear of his life as he was being blackmailed about losing drug money and cocaine worth thousands of pounds.

[13] Media reports of the trial, along with the Oakland incident, seriously damaged Bindon's reputation and he found it increasingly difficult to find work in the entertainment industry.

It featured archival footage of Bindon behind the scenes and interviews with Angie Bowie, Vicki Hodge, Billy Murray, George Sewell and James Whitaker.
