	Jeremy Brett, Sherlock Holmes
		Jeremy was once quoted as saying that he and his second wife Joan were "too late for children." Instead, they had planned to create an immense garden; but they could never agree as to where it should be located.
		Jeremy by all accounts was a very nice man as well as a fine actor, and his fans span all ages and borders.
		Jeremy Brett (1933-1995) was a versatile British actor with a distinguished 40-year career legacy in many diverse roles, but it was his portraiture as the consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, that bought him international fame.

		Jeremy Brett was a gifted yet ultimately underappreciated Thespian whose symbiotic relationship with the character Sherlock Holmes has earned him a permanent place in the livelihood of the fictitious legend as well as Baker Street Irregulars and the like.
		Brett's early work on the stage included everything from the classic to the avant-garde in nature; he was a diverse and multifaceted performer, who even worked alongside the likes of Charlton Heston (playing Dr. Watson oddly enough).
		Brett was not only manic depressive, but he also had a continually failing heart; his condition was further compromised by heavy smoking, a grueling work schedule, and an already weakened heart from a spout with rheumatic fever as a child.

	The Brettish Empire - JBTV Part III
		Jeremy Brett became Sherlock Holmes, and, to my mind, Sherlock Holmes became Jeremy Brett.
		How Jeremy managed to act (or even survive) during this time is the greatest mystery of all to me. He gave life to Sherlock Holmes as his own life was tragically ebbing away.
		Yet, although he literally acted his heart out, Jeremy Brett apparently never won (or was even nominated for) any major acting awards for his bravura performance.

		Brett was highly regarded for, and quite talented in, redefining a role for which so many readers held strong preconceptions of what was permissable for the character.
		Jeremy's performance as Holmes was the closest to the actual character, as it becomes apparent from reading stories from the Canon that Holmes himself suffered from bouts of manic-depression.
		Jeremy was just as versatile and should have become a worldwide household name.

		Brett's Holmes - cantankerous, affected, whimsical, rude, arrogant, precipitous, charming - can only have been drawn from the deepest possible understanding of the text.
		No other Holmes has come close to Brett's portrayal of the brilliant but obsessed mind, teetering on the knife edge dividing madness and genius.
		Brett's portrayal of Holmes is enough to lift this series above any other.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Sherlock Holmes Collection (23 Disc Box Set) [1993]: DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Still hailed by many as the definitive Holmes, Brett presented the great detective as a solitary, nervous and depressive personality whose brilliant flashes of inspiration were interrupted by long bouts of introspection and drug-induced lethargy.
		Jeremy Brett was the only actor who ever managed to perfectly portray Holmes's imperiousness, bitingly ironic sense of humor and apparently indestructible self-control without at the same time neglecting his genuine friendship towards Dr. Watson and the weaknesses hidden below a surface dominated by his overarching intellectual powers.
		To sum up, this is a collection that many Conan Doyle and Jeremy Brett fans probably already own, but to those who haven't bought it, I would recommend it not only as a unique record of the most famous detective stories of all time, but also as incontrovertible evidence of Brett's singular and prodigious talents.

	Clapham Common : Jeremy Brett Memorial Garden Petition
		One of the area's most distinguished residents, actor Jeremy Brett, died in his Clapham home on September 12, 1995; he had lived there for many years, and cherished the beauty of the Common.
		Mr Brett insisted on absolute fidelity to Doyle's work and is, perhaps, the only actor ever to have portrayed this very demanding role directly from its original text.
		We hope to achieve this goal by 2005 for the 10th year since Mr Brett's passing, to honour a man who was one of Britain's most gifted actors, an unselfish and caring human being...a man who truly loved Clapham Common and an inspiring role model for generations to come.

		This web site is not mostly about Jeremy Brett -- it's about Sherlock Holmes, who appeared first of all in four novels and 56 short stories.
		I am not a Brett specialist, and I probably know less about him and his portrayal of Holmes than the average Sherlockian.
		On the other hand, it's quite true that Brett portrayed Holmes in more (television) films than anyone else, had an immense influence on public awareness and interest in Holmes, and presented him with a high-intensity, high-strung, even neurotic interpretation that caught the attention of critics and scholars as well as general audiences.

		And, of course, Brett and costar Edward Hardwicke as Watson exhibit the same chemistry that made previous episodes so delightful; their byplay alone makes the Casebook shows worth watching.
		Sherlock Holmes fans are divided as to who was the best on-camera interpreter of "The Master": Basil Rathbone or Jeremy Brett.

		Jeremy Brett was the only actor who ever managed to perfectly portray Sherlock Holmes's imperiousness, bitingly ironic sense of humor and apparently indestructible self-control without at the same time neglecting his genuine friendship towards Dr. Watson and the weaknesses hidden below a surface seemingly dominated by his overarching intellectual powers.
