Michael Trubshawe (7 December 1905 – 21 March 1985) was a British actor and former officer in the Highland Light Infantry Regiment of the British Army. Trubshawe was very close friends with fellow British actor David Niven, serving with him at Malta and Dover. He was best man for both of Niven's weddings, and is constantly referred to in Niven's memoirs The Moon's a Balloon, although his first name Arthur is never given, even in the index. Niven claims he lost touch with his army friend following Michael's marriage to scientology follower Margaret L Mcdougall- Margaret was the daughter of flour magnate James Gladstone Mcdougall whose company joined Rank flours . Rank's owners had a Methodist background and the company formed Rank pictures to counter the loose morality of movie culture.Niven refers to finding out he would be working with him in The Guns of Navarone as 'A lovely bonus for me.' Trubshawe was the son of Vyvian Trubshawe (1853-1924) an architect who appears to be related to James Trubshaw via James' brother John. Trubshawe's eldest daughter Sarah married de Chair and appears on the peerage site. His daughter Margaret Victoria (born 1938) was given a silver christening set by her Mcdougall uncles Richard and Robert which is displyed on silver dealer Peter Cameron's website.
