Biography
Bill Shine was a British actor who spent his career across theater, film, and television. He was born in London in 1911 into a family with deep stage connections: his father, Wilfred Shine, acted in the theater and took roles in movies during the 1920s and 1930s, and several other relatives had also worked in the theater. Shine made his film debut in 1929, beginning a run that would include appearances in more than 160 films and television series. His most familiar role late in his career was Inventor Black on the children's series Super Gran. He also appeared as the Duke of Midlothian in The Duke and I, an episode in the second series of Mrs Thursday, broadcast in 1967. He died in 1997.
