The first ever biography of iconic British actor David Tomlinson – a journey through war, tragedy, fame and Hollywood
"A wonderful account of a life filled with far more ups and downs than its subject’s languid demeanor ever suggested." —Miles Jupp
Even if the name doesn’t ring a bell, you’d recognize David Tomlinson’s face – genial and continually perplexed, he was Mr Banks in
Mary Poppins
, Professor Browne in
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
and Peter Thorndyke in
The Love Bug
. To many, he’s the epitome of post-war British comedy.
But at times his life was more tragedy than comedy. A distinguished RAF pilot in the Second World War, his first marriage was to end in horrific tragedy and his next romance ended with his lover marrying the founder of the American Nazi Party. He did find love and security in his second marriage, but drama still played its part in his life – from the uncovering of an earth-shattering family secret to the fight for an autism diagnosis for his son, up against the titans of the British medical establishment.
Tomlinson may have died over twenty years ago, but his star continues to shine. In
Disney’s British Gentleman
, Nathan Morley reveals the remarkable story of one of Disney’s most beloved icons for the very first time.
