Robert Nesbitt

Robert Nesbitt (11 January 1906 – 3 January 1995) was a theatre director, theatrical producer and impresario, particularly known for staging 25 instances of the Royal Variety Show.

Nesbitt was born on 11 January 1906 in London, England. He staged and co-wrote the 1952 hit musical The Glorious Days starring Anna Neagle.

He once rejected an audition by Julie Andrews, but on the grounds of her age (she was only twelve at the time) rather than a deficiency of talent.

He died on 3 January 1995.
