Guy Deghy (born Gedeon Aladar Istvan Deghy; 11 October 1912 – 25 February 1992), was a Hungary-born radio producer and actor who appeared largely in United Kingdom films and television.
Career
Deghy was first a producer for BBC Leeds. The Leeds-born novelist, playwright and journalist Keith Waterhouse recalls in his autobiography,
City Lights, submitting his first radio play,
The Town That Wouldn't Vote:
I was summoned to the BBC to meet my producer, Guy Stephen Deghy, (whom) I recognised as one of the bearded bohemians of Whitelock's (Ale House).
Despite a 20-year age gap, Guy and I hit it off from the start, and we were to become lifelong friends. Eventually, Deghy
took off for London to act (and) write . . . a further spur to my ambition to reach my Chelsea garret.
Deghy appeared in the 5th episode of the first season of The Saint depicting Inspector Oscar Kleinhaus,
Deghy also appeared on the London stage.
He died in London, at the age of 79, on 25 February 1992.
