Matthew Garber played the cute, freckled-faced, spunky boy in Mary Poppins. He was born March 25, 1956 in London, England. He appeared in very few films, but another one of my favorites – The Three Lives of Thomasina with Mary Poppins co-star Karen Dotrice.

There were many speculations as to the cause of his death at the young age of 21. He had been traveling in India and may have contracted Hepatitis which then spread to his pancreas. He was transported back to England, but died shortly after from Pancreatitis.
