My Take
Jack Hawkins, born in 1910 in Wood Green, London, was a defining British film star of the 1950s, and I am drawn to actors who command a frame simply by entering it. He was famous for military men, said to lend formidable authority to every figure of command he played, and that kind of weighty presence is exactly what I prize in a screen actor. A CBE and four-time BAFTA nominee, he worked across stage and film for four decades before his death in 1973.
