Anthony Wager - Britmovie

DAVID RAYNER · 22-12-2003, 05:41 PM

Watching the classic 1946 version of GREAT EXPECTATIONS on BBC2 yesterday afternoon (December 21st) with its wonderful debut performance by 12 years old Anthony Wager as young Pip, I got to wondering what became of him, whether he is still alive and where he is now. Also, where did he come from and how did David Lean (if indeed it was he) come to choose this unknown, if very photogenic and talented schoolboy, for such an important part in his film.
I have searched all over the internet for information on Anthony Wager and all I can come up with is his date of birth and a list of his films. Can anyone here elaborate on the subject, I wonder.
