Fella Edmonds (born 25 October 1941), also known as Eddie Edmonds, is a British child actor of film and television.
Life
Edmonds was born on 25 October 1941 in Chiswick.
His early promise as Georgie Crain, the principal figure in The Rainbow Jacket, failed to land him any further leading roles other than in a Children's Film Foundation film, The Stolen Airliner, the following year. Although his small size (and confidence) allowed him to play a jockey, he grew up to be 6 feet 1 inch tall.
He had no film roles as an adult.
