Tom Conway
Tom Conway was a British film and television actor, born on September 15, 1904, in Saint Petersburg.
Conway held United Kingdom citizenship and received his education at two English institutions, Bedales School and Brighton College. The shape of his early life — begun in Russia, continued through the English educational establishment — gave his background a particular character before he moved into the working world of the screen. He performed throughout his career in the English language.
His work as both a film actor and a television actor earned him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a concrete and public form of recognition by the industry in which he built his professional life. He died on April 22, 1967, in Culver City, at the age of sixty-two. What the record holds most plainly is the portrait of a British actor who carried his work across two distinct performance mediums.
