	Guardian Unlimited \| Obituaries \| Obituary: Sir Nigel Hawthorne
		Sir Nigel Hawthorne, who has died aged 72 from a heart attack following a course of chemotherapy for cancer, was a sensitive and bleakly intelligent actor whose work was insufficiently appreciated until it was rescued by one crucial part in a popular television series.
		Nigel Hawthorne's family background may have explained the plain, self-torturing young man that he was before age and success soothed some of the hesitancies and agonies.
		Nigel Hawthorne was appointed CBE in 1987 and knighted in 1999.

		SIR NIGEL HAWTHORNE, the actor who has died aged 72, became a national figure as Sir Humphrey Appleby, the power-crazed Permanent Secretary at the Department of Administrative Affairs in the television comedy series Yes Minister (1980-83 and 1985-86) and Yes, Prime Minister (1986-87).
		Nigel Barnard Hawthorne was born in Coventry on April 5 1929, one of four children.

	Q-online - Book review: Nigel Hawthorne, Straight Face (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Hawthorne senior, a doctor who moved to South Africa from Coventry 'for the sun', was of a generation which found it easier to love dogs than people.
		Hawthorne was in his forties by the time his father came to visit him in London.
		But Hawthorne was no grand old man; as he makes clear in these memoirs, he was closer to the characters in Lewis's fiction, loitering in Narnia after he should really have grown up; closer to Queen Charlotte as he tended his obstreperous ex-lover through Aids; closer to Lear's Fool, odd, vulnerable and charming.

		Hawthorne, also known for his work in the BBC series Yes, Minister, fairly admits to be making up for lost time.
		Hawthorne first encountered Mamet in 1985, when he was appearing in The Shawl, a television play of Mamet's produced for the BBC.
		Hawthorne recently joined the ranks of Ian McKellen and Anthony Hopkins by being granted a knighthood, a distinction of which he is both proud and modest.

		Hawthorne also contributed an acclaimed performance as the authoritarian father in David Mamet's 1999 film adaptation of Terence Rattigan's The Winslow Boy, a study of a family under the stress of public scrutiny.

		Nigel Hawthorne played every part well that I ever saw him do on stage or on screen.
		But Sir Nigel's range was wide and beautifully on display worldwide as "King George III", first in the Royal National Theatre production of Alan Bennett's play which was then translated into Nick Hytner's film, with an Oscar nomination for its star.
		When Nigel didn't win the Best Actor award I remember his saying "well I didn't expect to" but it must have been sweet for him to be taken seriously as a film actor so late in his career.

		A staple of the British stage for nearly a quarter of a century before he gained his first significant measure of international notice, Nigel Hawthorne has had one of the acting profession's more slow-burning careers.
		Hawthorne's first helping of international acclaim came with his portrayal of Sir Humphrey Appleby on the popular British television series Yes, Minister during the '80s.
		Again, Hawthorne enjoyed great critical praise for his portrayal of the mentally unbalanced king, earning an Oscar nomination and a BAFTA award for his rich, manic, and ultimately dignified performance.

		As the young Hawthorne struggled to come to terms with his sexuality, we hear about the awful ways in which homosexuals were forced to live in 1950s and 1960s London.
		Hawthorne spent much of his long acting career in theatre, where he won over audiences with his roles in plays as diverse as Oh What A Lovely War, Privates On Parade and a seminal if ultimately unsatisfactory RSC production of King Lear.

		For many, the late Sir Nigel Hawthorne (who died on Boxing Day 2001, at age 72, after an eighteen-month battle with cancer of the pancreas) will always be remembered as the conniving, manipulative, and hilariously verbose civil servant, Sir Humphrey Appleby, co-star of Britain's witty, intelligent britcom Yes Minister (and its sequel, Yes Prime Minister).
		It was also around this time that Hawthorne, having lived an essentially lonely, unhappy life, finally met Trevor Bentham, the man with whom he would at last find happiness and go on to spend the rest of his life.
		Hawthorne devotes a fair amount of space to his discussion of the RSC and his experience doing Lear--perhaps because it was freshest in his mind (not to mention an exasperating experience).

		I was thrilled when Nigel Hawthorne was nominated for the Best Actor oscar for his performance as George III in this film, not only because this was a stunning performance, but because of his history on the stage (which I was privileged to attend often in London) and with BBC productions.
		Nigel Hawthorne is the backbone to this piece making us laugh but at the same time want to cry.
		Nigel Hawthorne brilliantly plays the role of the King, creating a benevolent personage, a sort of aristocratic populist, who is, at heart, a family man. Yet, he understands, all too well, his role as King.
