Film critic Tom Hutchinson, who kissed Marilyn Monroe and counted Rod Steiger as a personal friend, has died at the age of 75.

Tom
died peacefully in his sleep at the Royal Free Hospital, London. He was
the Ham&High’s film critic until last year, but his fame as an
author, TV and radio presenter and scriptwriter spread way beyond
Hampstead.

Tom met his wife, Patricia, at the Sheffield Telegraph
and Star, where she worked as an artist and he was a reporter. They
married in 1954 and came to London in 1956.
