I've just received word that the actor and author Trader Faulkner passed away in London today. His is probably not a familiar name to many - though he had a long career playing minor roles in British B-pictures and early television, he might be better known for his insightful biography of his friend and mentor, Peter Finch, published in 1980. He was also the son of John Faulkner, a prolific performer in Australian silent films and as such, one of the last links to those faraway times. My review of his Finch biography is in this thread.
