This year we lost our friend, Candida Royalle.
Recently fellow actor Alan ‘Spike’ Adrian (born John Mozzer) kindly sent us a selection of Christmas cards that Candida and her then-husband Per sent to friends in the early 1980s. Candida drew each one individually – and we thought that sharing them with you would be a perfect way to close out the year.
Thank you for all your friendship and support over the last twelve months. We’re on vacation for a few weeks. See you in 2016!
Many thanks to John Mozzer for sending us Candida’s cards to use in this article.

Happy Christmas, Candida
These are great! I had a few myself. Wonderful of John to share them and an inventive holiday feature. He’s quite the archivist.
Candida was incredibly talented!
Thank you Ashley, April and all from the Rialto Report for a fascinating year. It’s sad that we are losing these Golden Age icons but your podcasts and essays will keep their legacies alive. Great work and I look forward to 2016 and what you may have in store for us. There always seems to be a surprise around the corner with you guys. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We so appreciate the kind words! We have some exciting features up our sleeves for 2016 so we hope you’ll continue to stay tuned. Happy holidays!!
Hand made holiday greetings are the most fun of all.
