Simon Gipps-Kent was a kindred spirit that touched the lives of millions of people in his brief lifetime.
Simon decided on an acting career at the early age of 12. His success was such that the British press once referred to Simon as "the foremost juvenile actor of the 1970s,"* as an entire generation of young Brits grew up watching Simon grow up -- on the telly.
For 12 triumphant years, 1971 through 1983, Simon headlined in stage, television and film roles. He performed around the world.
He embraced British theatre, his acting roots, for another four years and then in 1987, at age 28, a sudden unexplained end.
Simon Gipps-Kent's story, still a mystery in 2014, is one that needs to be told.
Lucky were those that saw Simon perform live on stage, but thanks to a preserved film record, now on DVD, Simon Gipps-Kent still touches people all around the world today.
* "...the foremost juvenile actor of the (19)70s..."
