Timothy Findley

Timothy Findley (1930-2002), born in Toronto into the bourgeoisie of Rosedale, a child of fragile health, left school early, studied dance and then became an actor. A member of the first season of the Stratford festival in 1953, he then acted in London, where Thornton Wilder and Ruth Gordon urged him to write; Alec Guinness had taken him under his wing. He shared the rest of his life with the writer William Whitehead, on a farm in Ontario. Committed against censorship, president of PEN Canada's English-language branch in 1986 and 1987, he died in France.
