Editing Richard Greene (section)

==Early life==
Greene was born in [[Plymouth]], [[Devon]], England. He was raised Roman Catholic, attending [[Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School]] ([[Kensington]], London), which he left at 18. His aunt was actress [[Evie Greene]]. His father, Richard Abraham Greene and his mother, Kathleen Gerrard, were both actors with the Plymouth Repertory Theatre.<ref>Charles Kidd, ''Debrett Goes to Hollyhood'', (New York: St. Martin's Press, 1986), pg. 129.</ref> He was the grandson of Richard Bentley Greene and a descendant of four generations of actors.{{cn|date=August 2022}}

It has been stated elsewhere that he was the grandson of the inventor [[William Friese-Greene]], (credited by some as the inventor of [[cinematography]]) but this was found to be false, as a result of two parallel lines of genealogical research, conducted by the [[British Film Institute]] and [[The Paul Pert Screen Collection|Paul Pert]] respectively, the latter being subsequently published in 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Pert|first=Paul|url=https://www.paulpert.com/lens-hood-to-robin-hood!/|title=From Lens Hood to Robin Hood!|website=[[The Paul Pert Screen Collection]]|date=2009}}</ref>
