Yes! He was building hospitals and helping children "achieve their dreams".
And he was also molesting them, but that was only established after his death. He got to live the life of a rich, admired and excentric benefactor. Future king Charles was a big fan.
There's a good documentary about his life on Netflix.
- FireBeyond 3y ago> And he was also molesting them, but that was only established after his death. It certainly wasn't unknown before his death, but he was so untouchable that even other celebrities got 'canceled' or ignored when they tried to talk about it. Police departments had covered it up. Hospitals, too. The Sex Pistols' John Lydon on BBC radio: "locking him up and stopping him assaulting young children... I'm disgusted at the media pretending they weren't aware." Jerry Sadowitz (comedian) had one of his albums withdrawn from sale because he called him a pedophile. A BBC Governor (essentially, C-suite) had banned him from involvement with a BBC children's charity event. A Royal Family Press Secretary raised "concerns and suspicions". It's also entirely possible that he was a practicing necrophiliac, according to reports from nurses at one hospital where, mindblowingly, he had keys to the hospital morgue. Oof.
