Ian Hendry and Janet Munro At Home c.1964
Some candid shots from c.1964 show Ian and Janet at their island home on the Thames (‘Sphinx’ on Pharaoh’s Island, London).
Jimi Hendrix – Partying In The Pool at Sphinx in the 60s?
Jimi Hendrix may have been a guest at a party held by Ian and Janet at Sphinx in the 60s and even swum in the pool – according to an anecdote from a neighbour:
“The impressive property was home to Avengers actor Ian Hendry and his actress wife Janet Munro in the 1960s before they split, and was also the setting for director John Boorman’s two semi-autobiographical films – Hope and Glory in 1987 and Queen and Country in 2014.
According to the current owner, Andrew Muir, who has lived in the property for six years, there were plenty of wild parties during the 1960s, with one neighbour claiming to have swum in the pool with Jimi Hendrix.”
