Image result for Dennis PriceDennis Price (born Dennistoun Franklyn John Rose-Price) (23 June 1915 – 6 October 1973) was an English actor, best remembered for his role as Louis Mazzini in the film Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) and for his portrayal of the omniscient valet Jeeves in 1960s television adaptations of P. G. Wodehouse's stories.

Price was born Dennistoun Franklyn John Rose-Price in Twyford in Berkshire, the son of Brigadier-General Thomas Rose Caradoc Price CMG DSO[1] and his wife Dorothy, née Verey, daughter of Sir Henry Verey,[2] Official Referee of the Supreme Court of Judicature.[3][4][5] He attended Copthorne Prep School, Radley College and Worcester College, Oxford. He studied acting at the Embassy Theatre School of Acting.[4]

Price was married to the actress Joan Schofield from 1939 to 1950. They had two daughters.[12] It was alleged that Price was homosexual and the marriage was an attempt to lead a 'conventional' life, since homosexual activity was a criminal offence in England and Wales until 1967. In April 1954, he tried to commit suicide by gas in a London guest house.[15][16] Public sympathy led to a revival of his career and the offer of film roles.
