Minister"

Sir Nigel Hawthorne, Order of the British
Empire|CBE (5 April 1929 – 26 December 2001)
was a renowned United Kingdom|British actor. He
was born in Coventry in Warwickshire, although he
spent some of his formative years in South Africa.
He returned to the United Kingdom|UK in the 1950s.

In a long and varied career, which began with an
advert for Mackeson stout and a bit part in Dad's
Army, his most famous roles were as Sir Humphrey
Appleby in the TV series Yes, Minister (and its
sequel Yes, Prime Minister), and as George III of
the United Kingdom|George III in the film
adaptation of Alan Bennett's The Madness of King
George, for which he was nominated for an Academy
Award|Oscar and received the Olivier Award. He was
appointed a Order of the British Empire|CBE in
1987, and was knighted in 1999.

An intensely private individual, he was deeply
saddened when he was involuntarily "outed" as a
homosexual in the run-up to the Oscars.  While
struggling with prostate cancer (though his
eventual death was of a myocardial
infarction|heart attack), however, he wrote a
candid autobiography Straight Face, which was
published posthumously.
