He was FAR from an overnight success! He was born in 1927, and after seeing Hamlet in 1944, he went to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, and after he graduated, he joined the Old Vic, and he continued in it, planning to make his life as a Shakespearean actor. In 1951, he had a minor movie role in The Lavender Hill Mob, and he did not have much success in movies over the next five years. In 1956, he was signed to star in the TV show "The Buccaneers", and he also wrote a novel, "The Hiding Place". He had a very messy private life, at one point having a baby with his mistress, Mary Ure, only weeks after his wife gave birth to his baby. In 1962, he appeared in The Valiant, and in 1963 in The Caretaker, and then he had his giant break when he was the villain in "From Russia With Love" in 1963. He then made a number of critically acclaimed movies that did not have great success at the box office, except for "A Man For All Seasons", where he was nominated for the Best Support Actor Oscar. In 1973 and 1974, he had two great performances in American movies, "The Sting" and "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3", and the following year, he had the most notable role of his career as Quint in "Jaws". He had several more good performances before his hard drinking life caught up with him, and he passed away in 1978 at the age of 51 from a heart attack. Important Added Info: SUPER IMPORTANT! THOUGH ONLY EIGHT OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED, THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 17 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE (but realize that on some of these lots with 9 or more stills there may be a few duplicates, mostly on post-1960 lots)! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made only a small effort to find the best stills in these lots, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing eight of the stills. Condition: good to very good. One or more of the stills has been trimmed. The trimming can either be seen in our super-sized image, or if not, then please see our measurement range above to get a sense of the amount of trimming (in some cases the trimming is very minimal and the stills measure very close to 8" x 10", and in those cases there will not be a range of measurements).
