Roger Livesey was a British stage and film actor. He is most often remembered for the three celebrated Powell & Pressburger films in which he successively starred between 1943 and 1946; The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, I Know Where I'm Going! and A Matter of Life and Death. Tall and broad with a mop of chestnut hair, Livesey used his highly distinctive husky voice, gentle manner and athletic physique to create many notable roles in his theatre and film work.
