William Severn(1938-1983)
- Actor
Bill Severn spent his brief career at MGM as a child actor, known as
Little Billy Severn. His brother Christopher was also a child actor. As
an adult, he was a world-known evangelist, based in Ventura,
California. His ministry took him and his family to far-flung places
such as Indonesia during the 1965 revolution, Israel, the UK and also
every corner of the USA by way of the Trinity Broadcasting Network. He
was a devoted husband and father. He was in the midst of a busy
schedule in 1983 when he died suddenly - he was exercising in his
weight room when he was stricken by a massive heart attack. This was a
dreadful shock because he seemed to be the in the peak of health. He
was only 45 years old. He was laid to rest in Pierce Brothers-Valley
Oaks Memorial Park, in Westlake Village, California, beside his
mother.
