20th Century-Fox. The arrival of London-born McDowall (1928-1998) in
Hollywood came when he tested for the juvenile lead in Fox's How Green Was My
Valley (1941), winning both the role and a long contract. McDowall's first
adult acting assignment was as Malcolm in Orson Welles' 1948 film version of
Macbeth. The actor spent the better part of the early 1960s playing
Octavian in the mammoth production Cleopatra, co-starring with
longtime friend Elizabeth Taylor. An accomplished photographer, McDowall was
honored by having his photos of Taylor and other celebrities frequently
published in the leading magazines of the era. McDowall's most frequent
assignments between 1968 and 1975 found him in elaborate simian makeup in the
Planet of the Apes theatrical films and TV series. Shortly before his
death, the Academy of Motion Pictures named its photo archive after him.
