The daughter of Raymond Massey and Adrianne Allen talks about her candid, wry and emotional account of a life intensely lived. After a turbulent childhood, her stage debut in The Reluctant Debutante led to the notorious film Peeping Tom, and on to television success in The Pallisers and Hotel du Lac. Her distinguished stage career includes encounters with Olivier, Redgrave, Richardson, Gielgud and Coward.
Raymond Hart Massey (August 30, 1896–July 29, 1983) was a Canadian born American actor. Born in Toronto, Ontario, he was a son of Chester D. Massey, the wealthy owner of the Massey-Ferguson Tractor Company. He attended secondary school briefly at Upper Canada College, before transferring to Appleby College[1] in Oakville, Ontario, and graduated from university at University of Toronto where both he and his brother were active members in the Kappa Alpha Society, and Balliol College, Oxford.
In 1961, the Massey Lectures were created to honour Vincent Massey, in recognition of his energetic support for the humanities in Canada. The Massey Lectures allow a noted scholar or public figure to give a talk on a subject of his or her choice, and are considered by many to be the most important public lecture series in Canada.

Seven years later, he sold it to Hart Massey (founder of Massey Ferguson and Massey Hall). Other Masseys who lived in the house included Raymond Massey (actor) and Vincent Massey (Governor-General). During the early half of the twentieth century, young Lillian Massey passed away. Soon after, one of the family maids hanged herself from the oval vestibule over the main foyer, presumably out of grief. Since the Masseys moved on, the building has served as an art gallery, radio station, convalescent home, and a bar before becoming the Keg in 1976. Hauntings:
