No, she was still loved up with Micheal Wilding and had his child a few weeks before she started filming

I thought they had an affair on set on Elephant Walk?

Not Liz Taylor Arch!! Vivien Leigh was his 'playmate' for a few years.

Yeah he's one of those you'd have taken for granted had a page, much like John Barrymore or somebody.

i thought he already had a listing in this site for some reason.

He was obviously shorter than 5'10" Dana Andrews in Elephant Walk. Looked to me like a two inch dirrerence.

He looks like Kevin Costner

I was thinking 5 '11.

I'm not sure what Finch was really like, perhaps Sue has read a biography but I believe he had Vivien Leigh (during her most nutty years) and Elizabeth Taylor so he must have been a beast between the sheets!

Spot on I think.
