Actor and Evangelist. Born William Churchill Roosevelt Severn in Hollywood, he had a brief career as a mop-topped child performer, working mainly for MGM. Severn's biggest role was as Peter Humphreys in "Journey for Margaret" (1942). He made five other films, "Eagle Squadron" (1942), "The Story of Dr. Wassell" (1944), "Son of Lassie" (1945), "The Enchanted Forest" (1945), and "The Bride Goes Wild" (1948), before "retiring" from the screen at age ten. Severn later became a noted evangelist, appearing across the United States on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. He died of a heart attack at 45, while working out in his weight room. His brothers were child actors Ernest Severn and Clifford Severn. (bio by: Bobb Edwards)
