Tom Conway

Born: 15 September 1904, St. Petersburg, Russia
Died: 22 April 1967, Culver City, Los Angeles, California, USA

Tom Conway will always be remembered as George Sanders older brother and would have to be content with living in his shadow professionally for most of his career. He took over from Sanders in the Falcon series of films when his brother got better offers and went on to have a career bubbling under that of an A-lister.  In later years his eyesight started to fail and he became destitute.
