My interest in the film version of Swallows and Amazons has been increased by the recent excitement of the 'Swallow' auction. I had a look at the DVD (used with success to get my 7yr old daughters interested) and wondered what became of the actors. The children are all between 40 and 50 now.
You probably know Suzanna Hamilton played Susan and went on to star in many movies. She's still acting on TV these days, according to IMDB.
With the help of Google I found out some basic info, but I wondered who knew more?
Titty: Sophie Neville - currently a wildlife painter in South Africa if www.sophieneville.co.uk is the right match
Roger: Stephen Grendon - possibly the chap who lives a hermit's life in a shack in the Gloucestershire countryside
John: Simon West - no further clues
Nancy: Kit Seymour - no further clues
Peggy: Lesley Bennett - no further clues
I will also mention Sammy: David Blagden - this guy was also the sailing director, and I wonder if it was the same David Blagden who won Transatlantic races in a tiny yacht?
