[edit] Dates? (birth, first role)

His birth date differs between the article and the bio at screenonline. We say it was 1906, they say 1901. They also say his stage debut was in 1917, which would make him 11 by our date, but 16 by theirs. We don't state the year of his stage debut, but we do state he was 11. I haven't looked at the other two listed sources yet. Someone more knowledgable about this should look into it. JesseW 01:31, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The IMdb source claim 1906 for his birth. They also have as his first role in 1921, not 1917. JesseW 01:37, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Some of us at the [Powell & Pressburger Appreciation Society] (Roger Livesey did his best film work with P&P) are working on a [biography]. We're still just collecting information so far but the 1906 date looks fairly certain - short of seeing his birth certificate. SteveCrook 14:38, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Is it worth having the new picture of him talking to George VI? Its quite low quality, he's in the background and you can't tell that its him. Jihg 15:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

It is quite bad -- SteveCrook 16:19, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
