Cecil Kellaway spent many years as an actor, author and director in the Australian film industry until he tried his luck in Hollywood in the 1930s. Finding he could get only gangster bit parts, he got discouraged and returned to Australia. Then William Wyler called and offered him a part in "Wuthering Heights" (1939). From then on Kellaway was always in demand when the part called for a twinkling, silver-haired leprechaun.
Kellaway died in 1973, in Hollywood, California at the age of 79, and was interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles. He received two Best Supporting Actor nominations, for "The Luck of the Irish" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner".
Edmund Gwenn and Arthur Chesney, brothers whose real name was Kellaway, were his cousins.
