Fella Edmonds also known as Eddie Edmonds (born 25 October 1941) is a British child actor of film and television.
Life
[edit]He was born on 25 October 1941 in Chiswick.[1][2]
His early promise as Georgie Crain, the principal figure in The Rainbow Jacket failed to land him any further leading roles, other than one in a Children's Film Foundation film (The Stolen Airliner) the following year.[3][4] Although his small size (and confidence) allowed him to play a jockey he grew up to be 6ft 1.[5]
He had no film roles as an adult.
