Vernon Downing, a talented actor of great renown, made his entry into this world on January 6, 1913, in the picturesque county of Suffolk, situated in the southeastern region of England, United Kingdom.
Throughout his illustrious career, Downing left an indelible mark on the world of cinema, with his most notable roles including the iconic film "Mutiny on the Bounty", released in 1935, as well as the critically acclaimed "The Barretts of Wimpole Street", which premiered in 1934, and the timeless adaptation of Jane Austen's masterpiece, "Pride and Prejudice", which debuted in 1940.
Alas, his time on this earth came to a close in December 1973, as he breathed his last in the bustling metropolis of New York City, nestled within the state of New York, United States of America.
