Basil Rathbone

Basil Rathbone (1892-1967)
South African born, and British educated, Basil Rathbone is cinema's most famous and definitive Sherlock Holmes. So famous, the role probably stunted the rest of his career.

A veteran of World War One, Rathbone began appearing in films in the UK soon after the war's end, and moved to Hollywood in the mid-1920s. It wasn't until he appeared in 'David Copperfield (1935)' that his career took off, and he first played Sherlock Holmes on screen in 1939.
