“[Shirley-Ann Mallary, the manager] gave George Michael his first job. He was an usher/doorman. He was there quite a while. He penned one of his songs, Careless Whisper, going back and forth on the buses. I remember him doing it in the foyer one night. He was in his late teens then, living in Bushey with his parents. She really liked him.” –Malcolm Mallery, the projectionist at the time George worked there, and husband of the manager, in an obituary for Shirley-Ann
George Michael worked at this cinema for 9 months (he was 17-18) as a ticket taker, when it was the Empire, before he embarked on his music career. There’s video on Youtube of him standing in the concessions taking about working there.
