Kenneth More
Kenneth Gilbert More CBE (20 September 1914 – 12 July 1982) was an English film and stage actor, who had a high profile during the 1950s when he received several international awards.
Raised to stardom by the vintage car based film-comedy Genevieve, he appeared in many roles as a carefree, happy-go-lucky gent. His biggest hits from this period include Raising a Riot (1955), Reach for the Sky and The Admirable Crichton (1958).
His career declined in the early 1960s. However, two of his own favourite films date from this time - The Comedy Man (1964) and the slightly earlier The Greengage Summer (1961) with Susannah York, "one of the happiest films on which I have ever worked." He also enjoyed a revival in the much-acclaimed TV adaptation of The Forsyte Saga (1967) and the Father Brown series.
