Daniel Negley Farson Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Daniel Farson was born on January 8, 1927 in Kensington, London, England as Daniel Negley Farson. He was a writer and actor, known for Dan Farson Meets ... (1962), Beat City (1963) and Somerset Maugham Hour (1960). He died on November 27, 1997 in Barnstaple, Devon, England.
Farson liked to tell people that, when he once interviewed Orson Welles for TV in the 1950s, Welles told him the famous story that author Bram Stoker had based his description of the appearance of Count Dracula on that of his erstwhile employer, Sir Henry Irving, whom he disliked. Welles added that Stoker had told him this personally when they had met during Welles's youth. However, as Farson was distantly related to Stoker, he was able to tell Welles (on camera) that the writer had died in 1912, three years before Orson Welles was even born. Welles was greatly amused at being caught out in a blatant fiction.
