Fella Edmonds

Fella Edmonds also known as Eddie Edmonds (b.1941) was a British child star of film and television.

Life

He was born on 25 October 1941 in Chiswick.[1][2]

His outstanding performance as Georgie Crain, the principal figure in The Rainbow Jacket sadly failed to land him any further leading roles.[3] Although his small size (and confidence) allowed him to play a jockey he grew up to be 6ft 1.[4]

He had no film roles as an adult.
