Jimmy Hibbert, born James Christian Hibbert on July 15, 1949, in Windsor, Berkshire, England, is a talented individual with a multifaceted career spanning both acting and writing.
As the eldest of three children, Hibbert grew up in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, alongside his younger brother, the late music journalist Tom Hibbert, and his author parents, Christopher Hibbert and Susan Hibbert.
