Michael Darling's middle name was changed to "Nicholas". He was the first cousin of the English writer Daphne du Maurier
.
Early life
When Davies was born, Barrie was already a friend of his brothers and mother
Oxford University
in 1922, but continued to spend holidays with Barrie.
Adult life
In 1926 he married Mary James, daughter of
The Lost Boys, he was a consultant to writer Andrew Birkin. He died on 14 October 1980 at his home in Eythorne
, Kent.
Portrayals
In The Lost Boys, he was portrayed at various ages by Stephen Mathews, Jason Fathers, Matthew Ryan, and David Parfitt (later award-winning producer).
He was not included in the 2004 film Finding Neverland based on the story of Barrie's relationship with the family and the writing of the play. It took the dramatic licence of placing the dates of Davies's father's death and his mother's illness much earlier relative to the writing of the play, leaving no practical place in its timeline for his birth.
