What is a Fanlisting?

A fanlisting is a place for all fans of a particular movie, singer, or in this case, actor to come together. It is a web clique that lists fans of a particular subject. Unlike most web cliques, a person does not need a web site in order to join. Fans from around the world submit their information to their approved fanlisting and they are then listed to show their love for the subject.

Why 'Squilley'?

The name for this FanListing was taken from Mr. Quilley's autobiography in which he relates various tales of working with some of Britain's most eccentric performers. One such actor was Sir John Gielgud, who for reason's Mr. Quilley never ascertained insisted on calling him 'Squilley'. It was a term I rather liked and thought it would make a fitting name.

So if you want to proclaim your esteem for Denis Quilley to the world, this is the place to be.
