Extremely surprised a few minutes ago to discover that Royston Ellis had passed away last week. I keep thinking I've not e-mailed him recently. I've been in contact with him since 1960 and spent many years corresponding with e-mails. He invited us to his home in Sri Lanka for a holiday, but we'd made arrangements to go to Mauritius instead. I haven't been e-mailing friends for the last couple of years due to illness, but I was about to get onto Royston again and I am writing about him in a new book I'm working on. These questions now will never be answered, although I can get quite a lot of background from all the e-mails and he let me have several photographs to use. Sad loss of another friend - but it's now getting frightening these days.

You mean they now own the rights to the music, correct?

“Housemate?” Did he live in the Dakota?

Found the answer on Wikipedia:
Although his then-wife still thought he should become an English professor, Lerner still wanted to be an actor[5]; he received a Fulbright Scholarship to study theater in London for two years, at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. While there, he lived in a flat with Yoko Ono and John Lennon. In 1968, he appeared in Ono's short experimental film Smile, among other projects.[6] "She made a movie comprised of bare asses walking on a treadmill", he once said. "I’m in it and so is Paul McCartney. Plus I’m doing narration about censorship and all that crap."

Mary Quant, Mastermind of Swinging ’60s Style, Dies at 93
Some compared her impact on the fashion world with The Beatles’ impact on pop music.
She shot to the top of the fashion scene at the time when The Beatles and Rolling Stones dominated the music world, and she was forever linked to the heady freedoms of the 1960s.
The clothes became wildly popular and were worn by models such as Twiggy and Pattie Boyd, who was then married to Beatles guitarist George Harrison.
