  16. NEATH LEGEND: Hollywood’s first Welsh Oscar winner honoured with blue plaque at childhood home

    The tribute was unveiled at the house on Dalton Road where the legendary actor lived from the age of four.

    Milland, who was born Alfred Reginald Jones in 1907, remains a titan of the silver screen and was once Paramount’s highest-paid star.

    The installation follows a special exhibition at Melincryddan Community Hall on Friday, March 6, which brought together relatives, fans, and local dignitaries.

    Organised by the Neath Antiquarian Society, the event marked the 80th anniversary of Milland’s historic Academy Award win for his role in The Lost Weekend.

    He was the first Welsh actor to ever scoop an Oscar, a feat that cemented his place in cinematic history alongside greats like Grace Kelly and John Wayne.

    The plaque was successfully nominated by the Neath Antiquarian Society through Neath Port Talbot Council’s Blue Plaque Scheme.

    It serves as a permanent reminder of a man who told the world he was from Neath, even at the height of his global fame.

    Jonathan Davies, Chair of the Neath Antiquarian Society, hailed Milland’s “varied and lasting” career which spanned more than 55 years.

    “From romantic leads to comedy, horror, Broadway Theatre and his own TV shows, I don’t think there are many other careers in Hollywood that have been as varied or lasted as long,” he said.

    “Over the course of 55 years, he won everything; Oscar, Grammy, Cannes Film Festival, the lot.”

    The actor’s incredible journey saw him serve in the Royal Horse Guards before a chance meeting with an American actress convinced him to try his hand at acting.

    His 1929 debut in The Flying Scotsman led to a contract with MGM and a move to Hollywood that would change his life forever.

    Milland went on to star in classics such as Alfred Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder and the terrifying spy thriller Ministry of Fear.

    Despite his stardom, he never forgot his roots, famously being “lionised” in Cardiff in 1946 and touring Neath by car during a visit in 1947.

    Councillor Cen Phillips, Cabinet Member for Nature, Tourism and Wellbeing for Neath Port Talbot Council, said the plaque celebrates a key part of the area’s “incredible cultural legacy.”

    The ceremony was attended by Milland’s relatives and local residents, including the current tenant of the house on Dalton Road.

    Funding for the 2026 Commemorative Blue Plaque window will open from April 1 to September 30 for new nominations.

    The scheme is part of the council’s wider Heritage Strategy, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund to restore and celebrate local history.

  21. Neath honours Oscar winner, Archdruid and Iron Industry pioneer with Blue Plaques

    The council has approved commemorations for Oscar‑winning actor Ray Milland, Archdruid Dafydd Helsin Rowlands, and David Thomas — dubbed the “Father of the American Iron Industry.”

    Ray Milland: Neath’s Hollywood star

    Born in Dalton Street, Neath, Milland became the first Welsh actor to win an Oscar in 1946 for The Lost Weekend. He also scooped the Cannes Film Festival award the same year — a double first.

    His career spanned more than 50 years, starring alongside Hollywood greats and appearing in TV hits like Columbo, Hart to Hart and Battlestar Galactica. Milland died in 1986 aged 79, but his legacy lives on with two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

    David Thomas: Swansea Valley innovator

    Educated in Alltwen near Pontardawe, Thomas revolutionised iron production with a method to smelt anthracite in blast furnaces. His breakthrough transformed industry in the Swansea Valley and later across America.

    In 2023, he was immortalised in the American Iron and Steel Hall of Fame. His plaque will be funded by Cilybebyll Community Council.

    Dafydd Helsin Rowlands: Archdruid of Wales

    Pontardawe‑born Rowlands was a literary powerhouse, winning both the Crown and Prose Medal at the 1969 Eisteddfod, and a second Crown in 1972.

    He authored volumes of poetry and prose, wrote for TV, and inspired generations of Welsh writers. He served as Archdruid of Wales between 1996 and 1999.

    Council hails heritage boost

    Cllr Cen Phillips, Cabinet Member for Nature, Tourism and Wellbeing, said:

    “The three people to be commemorated in the next series of Neath Port Talbot Blue Plaques will help raise awareness of the county borough’s rich culture, heritage, language and history.”

    The plaques for Milland and Rowlands will be the first funded by Neath Port Talbot Council, while Thomas’s will be community‑funded. The scheme, launched in 2024, promises two plaques a year for the next decade, with options for businesses and individuals to self‑fund.

    Already, plaques honouring Richard Burton, his mentor Phillip Burton, and Port Talbot’s oldest pub The Somerset Arms have been installed.

  22. Wicked Witch of the West

    Producer Mervyn Leroy's original idea for casting the Wicked Witch for The Wizard of Oz was inspired by Disney's adaption of Snow White - he wanted to make her slinky + seductive. He thought he'd found the perfect choice with actress Gale Sondergaard who'd won an Oscar the previous year for her Best Supporting Actress performance in his film Anthony Adverse.
    Others however disagreed, thinking witches should be ugly. They attempted to give Sondergaard 'The Ugly Treatment' with make-up, but the actress herself decided she no longer wanted the role.

    "In those days I was not about to make myself ugly! I have no regrets".

    Interview, 1980 with Dick Cavett when she was 81
