Biography

Robert Stevenson, a renowned director and writer of great repute, entered this world on the thirty-first day of March, nineteen hundred and five, in the charming town of Buxton, situated in the picturesque county of Derbyshire, England, United Kingdom.

Throughout his illustrious career, Stevenson left an indelible mark on the world of cinema, with his most notable works including the beloved classic "Mary Poppins", released in the year nineteen hundred and sixty-four, the enchanting "Bedknobs and Broomsticks", which premiered in nineteen hundred and seventy-one, and the captivating historical drama "Nine Days a Queen", which debuted in nineteen hundred and thirty-six.

In his personal life, Stevenson was married on multiple occasions, first to Ursula Henderson, then to Frances Holyoke Howard, followed by Anna Lee, and finally to Cecilie L Leslie. Tragically, his life came to a close on the thirtieth day of April, nineteen hundred and eighty-six, in the beautiful city of Santa Barbara, situated in the state of California, United States of America.
