    What a Hollywood mainstay career had mustachio-muffed Billy Bevan, from the opening days of 1916 to 1950 in 226 roles. An Old Reliable around the studios.
    Born in Orange, cherry-famed town in New South Wales, Australia, thus one of the extensive "Gumnut Mafia" in Los Angeles.

      The MAGNIFICENT Billy Bevan, who owned a large ranch in Escondido, California.
      He would regularly commute to Hollywood, do his job and hurry back to the ranch.
      He also seems to have been one of the few co-workers who caught Colin Clive at a loss for words:
      After the wrap party for JOURNEY'S END, Clive invited Bevan to look him up when he (Bevan) returned to London. Billy Bevan had never BEEN to London in his life!
      I worked at the Escondido Public Library for 22 years. It was almost thirty 30 years after Mr. Bevan's death that I started there, but the Library was around, and I like to think he had a library card at the place I loved so well.
      "I do hope he won't upset Henry.."

        Nice story. One of the "Gumnut Mafia" in silent days Hollywood, JP McGowan being first that we know of Australians in Hollywood.
        Vintage movies, veteran projectors, at Terowie, birthplace of J.P. McGowan

          You learn something every day. I thought his English accent was pretty good too.
