About the Book

The first ever biography of iconic British actor David Tomlinson - a journey through war, tragedy, fame and Hollywood. Known to millions for his continually perplexed expression, David Tomlinson symbolised post-war British comedy. Whilst he distinguished himself as an RAF pilot during the war, he also endured a turbulent, tumultuous personal life. In 1943, his new American wife committed suicide with her two children by jumping from the top floor of a New York hotel. Not long after, a brief romance with an Icelandic beauty ended with her marrying the founder of the American Nazi Party. When he finally found comfort with his second wife, Audrey, he fought to have their son, Willie, recognised as one of the first British cases of autism. However, it was playing 'affable asses' in a string of British cinema classics and West End shows that would lead to his career upturn. In the sixties, he became the toast of Hollywood as one of Disney's most beloved icons, starring in Mary Poppins, The Love Bug, and Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Still adored by generations of children, Tomlinson's fame continues to shine, and in Disney's British Gentleman, author Nathan Morley reveals his remarkable story for the first time. AUTHOR: Nathan Morley is a journalist and author. He has written for Deutsche Welle, ORF, Best of British and History Hit from across Europe for the last two decades. He is the author of The Radio Luxembourg Story, The Naafi Story and Hitler's Home Front. 20 b/w illustrations
