Widely regarded as one of the greatest stage and screen actors both in his native UK and internationally, the unparalleled Nigel Hawthorne was born in Coventry, England on 5 April 1929, raised in South Africa and returned to the UK in the 1950s with his extensive work as a great gentleman of acting following during the decade as well as in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. His portrayal of 'Sir Humphrey Appleby' in the BBC comedy
Yes Minister (1980) won him international acclaim in the 1980s. In 1992, he was awarded the
Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for his sublime interpretation of 'George III' in
Alan Bennett's hit stage play, "The Madness of King George III" and he was also nominated for an Academy Award of Best Actor in a Leading Role in its brilliant film adaptation
The Madness of King George (1994), both of them exquisitely directed by
Nicholas Hytner.
