LEONARD WHITING – 71 YEARS OLD

Leonard Whiting, although known for his legendary role as Romeo in the 1968 film, Romeo and Juliet, didn’t focus on screen after. He made the most of the credit role given to him and proved himself rightful for it. He claimed that the most sought-after part went to him among all the 300 men who auditioned for it, and even if he didn’t have many movie projects as he focused more on his time on the Broadway stage, the role picked him over the other men. The last time we saw him on screen was in the 2015 film Social Suicide, which we believe was his last public film to date.

Whiting was born in Wood Green, England. His love for performing began to bloom in his local Church and primary school. He performed in nativity plays together with his sister. Whiting tied the knot with model Cathee Dahmen. He then started a relationship with Valerie Tobin. In the ‘90s, he wed his assistant Lynn Presser. They now reside in Steele’s Village, London.
