JAMES MASON
Born: May 15, 1909 in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom
Died: July 27, 1984 in Lausanne, Switzerland
James Mason, born May 15, 1909, in Huddersfield, England, was a celebrated actor whose career spanned five decades. Mason's rich, mellifluous voice and suave demeanor made him a popular choice for both romantic leads and more complex, brooding characters. He is perhaps best remembered for his roles in a number of classic films, often portraying deeply flawed characters with unflinching realism.
In Alfred Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" (1959), he played the urbane villain Phillip Vandamm, while in Stanley Kubrick's "Lolita" (1962), he delivered a controversial portrayal of Humbert Humbert. In "A Star Is Born" (1954), he offered a compelling performance as the self-destructive actor Norman Maine, a role that earned him an Academy Award nomination. His role as Brutus in "Julius Caesar" (1953) further demonstrated his impressive range. Mason, an avid animal lover, was heavily involved in animal rights activism. He converted his own home into a sanctuary for stray cats, at one point providing a home for more than a dozen felines.
