Family origin
Robin Fox was born in the parish of St George Hanover Square, Westminster, the son of Hilda Louise (Alcock), an actress, and Arthur William Fox. Robin Fox was the grandson of industrialist, engineer, and philanthropist Samson Fox.
Fox was related to the Hanbury and Neilson acting dynasty through his mother, whose sister was the stage actress Lily Hanbury. Their first cousin Julia Neilson was married to the actor Fred Terry, brother of the late nineteenth-century star Ellen Terry.[1] Altogether, five of Hilda and Lily Hanbury's first cousins were actors in Victorian and Edwardian theatre.[1]
Angela Worthington was an actress. Her father was English playwright Frederick Lonsdale and her sister was Felicity Shaw, who wrote mystery novels under the pseudonym Anne Morice.[2]
