- 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.

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.
