British actor, extra, and musician Stenson Falke was born Stenson Coultas Falcke on March 18, 1909 in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England. Following service in the Royal Air Force in the 1920's, Stenson went on to work as a musician on Cunard ocean liners and first began popping up in various films and TV shows in often uncredited minor roles in the mid-1960's. He married Beryl S. Gordge in 1958. Falke died at age 84 on December 4, 1993 in Highworth, Wiltshire, England.- Hilary was the daughter of Thomas the Tank Engine creator Wilbert Awdry. She worked as a lay minister at St. Michael and All Angels church in Highworth, Wiltshire where she was later buried. In Autumn 2011, Hilary sent a letter to the Daily Mail criticising HiT Entertainment, the current owner of her father's creation, for removing the word "Christmas" from the show as it is not now deemed "politically correct". She complained that it was not what her father wrote and they had taken "Christ" out of "Christmas". As a result, HiT Entertainment re-dubbed several episodes of Thomas & Friends to mention the word "Christmas" again. Hilary died in her Highworth home on November 25th, 2013 following a lengthy battle with cancer at the age of sixty-seven.
