Actor

Spade-jawed British character actor Norman Rossington was born in Liverpool, so it shouldn't be considered THAT ironic that he would end up appearing in The Beatles' debut film smash, A Hard Day's Night, as "Norm", the Fab Four's chagrined road manager.

Born:

in Liverpool, England, UK

Died:

(age 70) in Manchester, England, UK
