Guy Hastings

Guy Hastings (died 15 March 1941) was an English-born actor who worked extensively in Australian theatre, radio and film.

He arrived in Australia in 1912 and worked for Bert Bailey in the original production of On Our Selection.[1] In the 1930s he was a particular favourite of director A. R. Harwood.[2]

In his later years Hastings developed health problems and in December 1940 he was told he would never act again. The theatre community organised a benefit for him, consisting of a production of a play in which he had appeared, The Streets of London. He died not long afterwards, aged 63.[3][4]
