		Alec Guinness With Grace Kelly in "The Swan" (From "Alec Guinness")
		Whether this is all merely a matter of the higher gossip or points to things deep in Guinness cannot be known, and indeed no one appears to have claimed to have had a homosexual encounter or relationship with him.
		It was my good fortune to be in London in the winter of 1989 and to acquire a ticket for "A Walk in the Woods," the two-character play in which he and Edward Herrmann starred.

	ALEC GUINNESS, 1914-- 2000
		Sir Alec Guinness, the lightsaber-wielding Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars and maverick British soldier in The Bridge on the River Kwai, died Saturday in a hospital in Southern England.
		Guinness continued a partnership with Lean throughout the rest of the actor's career, appearing in Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Zhivago and finally in A Passage to India in 1984.
		For the typically humble Guinness, who for years detested stardom, a seemingly throwaway role in a science-fiction film by a little-known director in 1977 turned out to be a curse.

	Alec Guinness Biography
		Alec Guinness is distinctive in his ability to combine the skills of character actor and realistic performance in the same role.
		Although he is identified with the school of acting which works from the outside in rather than from the inside out, accumulating external details rather than revealing inner truths, the virtuosity of his impersonations does not seem to damage the credibility of his characterisations.
		Guinness won an Oscar, a New York Film Critics award and a British Academy award for his performance as the insanely uncompromising Captain Nicholson in David Lean’s The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), a theme on which he played variations in Tunes of Glory (1960).

	Alec Guinness (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Sir Alec Guinness, who died on August 5, at age 86, certainly belongs -- with John Gielgud, Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, and Michael Redgrave -- on the short list of great knighted actors who were stars both on stage and in films.
		Guinness made himself at home in movies in a way that the others, perhaps, never sought to do.
		Except for a brief long shot using doubles, no two Guinnesses are on screen at any time, so that the technical trickery usually a factor in films with actors in multiple roles doesn't rear its head here.

	Alec Guinness Blasts Jedi 'Mumbo Jumbo'
		Sir Alec Guinness hated Star Wars so much he talked George Lucas into killing the Obi-Wan Kenobi character, he revealed in a recent interview.
		Guinness, one of the grand figures of British film with more than 60 cinematic appearances to his credit, told the new chatter magazine Talk that he convinced series creator Lucas that Kenobi would be a more effective mystical mentor if he appeared to Luke as a ghost.
		Guinness' dissatisfaction with being the embodiment of Jedi virtues is reminiscent of sentiments expressed more recently by Ewan McGregor, who played the role of Kenobi as a younger man in 'The Phantom Menace'.
