Photographer, director and producer. Born circa April - June, 1918, in England, District: Romney Marsh; Inferred County: Kent, according to the England and Wales Civil Registration Birth Index on Ancestry. Translated location: Romney Marsh, Shepway District, Kent, England.

Son of Ernest George Entwistle (1877 - 1963 artist and art teacher) and Florence Vivienne Entwistle (nee Mellish 1889 - 1982 photographer, miniaturist, singer).

He had one older brother Clive E Entwistle (1916 - 1976, architect and civil engineer).

His big break came when he photographed Vivien Leigh as she was making a name for herself. He was an Official War Artist, connected with the 14th Army in Burma (Chindits) in February 1943 and other regimental units of the British and Indiana armies. He was later to photograph Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, and Leslie Caron.

On October 18, 1949, Antony Beauchamp and Sarah Churchill were married in a civil ceremony at the mansion of Alfred W. Jones in Sea Island, Georgia. Judge Edwin W. Dart performed the marriage rite after issuing the marriage license eight hours earlier. Her ring was described as an 18th century heirloom ring he had brought from England.

He directed and produced an episode of Patrol Car.

He was found dead in his flat at Hyde Park Gardens, Hyde Park on August 18, 1957. An inquest established that he had committed suicide, taking an overdose of barbiturates. An article published in the Evening Standard stated that a private funeral took place for Antony Beauchamp at Putney Vale Cemetery, Putney. A memorial service was attended by his mother, Mrs. Florence Entwistle; his brother Clive Entwistle; wife Sarah Churchill; and friends. He was cremated on August 22, 1957. [Evening Standard (London, Greater London, England) August 22, 1957, page 9).

Records from Putney Vale indicated that cremains were initially taken away in 1957; but on February 2, 1960, Antony Beauchamp's cremains were scattered in Putney Vale's Garden of Remembrance.
