Neville Farrington: Bio Summary  

How old is Neville Farrington?

Neville Farrington was born on December 5, 1958, in the United Kingdom to his parents  Suzanne Farrington and Robin Farrington. As of 2022, he is 65 years old. Neville is not the only child of his parents- He has two siblings- They are Rupert Farrington and Jonathan Farrington.

Neville Farrington’s mother was the only child of her grandmother Vivien Leigh and her first husband, Herbert Leigh Holman. Upon his grandmother’s death, his mother bequeathed Vivien Leigh’s papers, including her letters, photographs, contracts, and diaries.

Although his grandmother’s career had periods of inactivity, in 1999 the American Film Institute ranked her as the 16th-greatest female movie star of classic Hollywood cinema. She was also considered to be one of the most beautiful actresses of her day and that has been shown in most of her movies.

Because of this many asked if she believed her beauty had been an impediment to being taken seriously as an actress. The actress mostly answers, “People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can’t possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap if you really want to look like the part you’re playing, which isn’t necessarily like you.”

His mother’s birth was difficult: Neville Farrington’s mother was born a month prematurely and the delivery was not an easy one. It was several weeks before mother and daughter came home, but once there it did not take his grandmother Vivien long to become bored, as the household was being run quite adequately by the staff, and the baby was well tended by the nurse nanny. The Holman household consisted of a maid, cook, and Nanny Oake who had been hired to care for the baby.

His mother also wanted to be an actress

Farrington’s mother also wanted to follow in the footsteps of his grandmother and became an actress. After she completed her education at Sherborne School for Girls (in Dorset) and a Swiss finishing school, Suzanne studied for two years at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Although hoping to become an actress, after her appearance at the faculty’s annual performance in March 1953, she did not continue in that career.
