		Shortly after graduation, Leslie began dabbling in acting, and is known to have made at least one film as early as 1914, though he supported himself as a bank clerk and not as a silent film star.
		Howard married in 1916, taking Ruth Evelyn Martin as his wife shortly before abandoning banking to become a soldier during World War I. As Leslie Stainer, the future star of stage and screen underwent great trials in the war, being discharged with severe "shell shock" less than a year after reporting for duty.
		Howard was by then an established star, and known for being competitive, meticulous and demanding: one costar reported that Howard counted script lines and had costars parts trimmed if their dialogue exceeded his own line count.

		Howard was tapped for the film version, but refused to make the movie unless Bogart was also hired (Warner Bros. had planned to use their resident gangster type, Edward G. Robinson).
		Fiercely patriotic, Howard traveled extensively on behalf of war relief; on one of these trips, he boarded a British Overseas Airways plane in 1943 with several other British notables, flying en route from England to Lisbon.
		Only after the war ended was it revealed that Howard had selflessly taken that plane ride knowing it would probably never arrive in Lisbon; it was ostensibly carrying Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and was sent out as a decoy so that Churchill's actual plane would be undisturbed by enemy fire.

		Leslie Howard was a Hollywood and Broadway star in the 1930s and represented the best of Englishness for Americans, and on his return to Britain came to represent England's ideals for the English.
		Howard's English qualities come together in 'Pimpernel' Smith (1941), which he also produced and directed.
		Howard's best known part may be as Ashley in Gone With the Wind (1939), but he was best loved as the ideal Englishman: patriotism with a light touch, often whimsical, sometimes comic, never too serious to be jingoistic.

		Intending Leslie to follow in his footsteps, he secured him a job as a bank clerk, but the acting bug had already bitten thanks to his mother's fondness for amateur dramatics, and Leslie would take on her adopted maiden name as his own.
		Bogart and Howard became firm friends, and many years after the latter's death Bogart named his daughter Leslie as a tribute to the man who launched his screen career.
		It is still not clear whether Howard was mistaken for Winston Churchill (who was also travelling in the region) or whether he was the intended target.

		However in the light of what British Intelligence and the Foreign Office must have known about the threats against Howard from Berlin, the decision to transport him on a civil airliner, and the potential risk it posed the innocent passengers and crew could be considered questionable.
		So while there are those who suggest Howard sacrificed himself to protect the Prime Minister of England, it is more likely the British Government that may have inadvertantly sacrificed Leslie Howard, along with those aboard Flight 777, in the propaganda war that Howard himself was so much a part of.
		Leslie Howard's accountant and travelling companion, Alfred Tregear Chenhalls, vaguely resembled Churchill and many stories have circulated that he was a Churchill 'double' deliberately placed on the ill fated KLM airliner.

		The building that now houses the Gallery was apparently built in the mid-1920s as part of the second wave of central business district construction when brick structures were being built instead of the early wooden structures.
