Bill Travers, a renowned British actor and producer, entered the world on January 3, 1922, in the charming city of Newcastle upon Tyne, located in the picturesque county of Northumberland, England, United Kingdom. Throughout his illustrious career, he garnered recognition for his captivating performances in a variety of films, including the critically acclaimed "Ring of Bright Water" (1969),the heartwarming "Born Free" (1966),and the thought-provoking "The Seventh Sin" (1957). Travers' personal life was marked by two significant relationships, first with the talented actress Virginia McKenna, and later with Patricia Raine. Tragically, his life came to a close on March 29, 1994, in the quaint town of Dorking, situated in the beautiful county of Surrey, England, United Kingdom.
