Father of actor Nolan Hemmings Started his career as a boy-soprano of some note. Benjamin Britten composed some of his most important child parts for him, i.a. Miles in "The Turn of the Screw". He was renowned for his mature and intelligent vocal interpretations of these parts and many have never been bettered since. Father of six children - one daughter by his first wife, one son Nolan by his second wife and three sons and one daughter by his third wife. He had just finished filming scenes for the movie, "Samantha's Child", when he suffered a heart attack and died. As a teen he left home and headed for Austria where he performed magic and played the guitar in nightclubs. Most people who knew him as the handsome leading man from "Blow-Up" didn't recognize him as the stocky character actor from the films he was in later in his career.
