Davy Burnaby

He was born in Buckland, Hertfordshire and made his screen debut in the 1929 film The Devil's Maze.

He died on 18 April 1949, age 68, the same date as comedian Will Hay with whom he had previously acted.

[1][2] Burnaby attended Haileybury College before reading law at Cambridge University but failed his first exam - so he turned to the Stage.

He made his professional debut at a command performance for King Edward VII.

His films include Calling All Stars, Song of the Forge, Talking Feet and Leave It to Me.
