EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Leslie Howard, the renowned English actor, in 1933. Known for his portrayal of stiff upper lipped English characters, Howard's talent and charm propelled him to stardom in both England and Hollywood. However, it was his iconic role as Ashley Wilkes in Gone with the Wind that solidified his place in cinematic history. Despite his success in Tinseltown, Howard felt a strong sense of duty towards his homeland during World War II. He made the selfless decision to return to Britain from Hollywood to assist with the war effort. Tragically, fate had other plans for this talented actor. While on a trip to Lisbon, the plane carrying him was shot down by the Luftwaffe over the Bay of Biscay. In this portrait, Leslie Howard exudes an air of sophistication and charisma that captivated audiences worldwide. His piercing gaze hints at a depth of emotion beneath his composed exterior—a testament to his remarkable acting skills. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of Leslie Howard's contributions to film but also of his sacrifice for country and cause. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even those who grace our screens can be heroes off-camera as well.
