About MeNewspaper clipping from January 1956 printed in an unknown newspaper, detailing actor John Loder's struggles with re-obtaining British Nationality, to allow him to file divorce proceedings in the United Kingdom. The section of the article about five years residency in a country being required to obtain that nationality is underlined in pencil. This relates to McBey's own struggles when trying to obtain American cititzenship in the 1950s detailed in ABDAG009505.17.
