Actor Born: July 23, 1894 in Brighton, England, UK Death: December 14, 1975 in Manhasset, Long Island, NY Biography:Of the many candidates for the throne of "Hollywood's favorite butler," Brighton-born "Arthur Treacher" was the undisputed victor. The son of a British lawyer, the tall, hook-nosed Treacher did not settle upon an acting career until he was 25, after serving in WWI. Starting out as a chorus "boy," Treacher rose to popularity as a musical comedy performer. He came to America in 1928 while he was appearing in a revue titled Great Temptations. Entering films in 1933, Treacher quickly established himself in butler or servant roles, notably in several "Shirley Temple" films. He was awarded top-billing in "Thank You, Jeeves" (1936) and Step Lively, Jeeves (1937), both based on the gentleman's-gentleman character created by "P.G. Wodehouse". Remaining active on Broadway, Treacher was prominently billed in such stage productions as "Cole Porter"'s Panama Hattie and the 1944 revival of The Ziegfeld Follies.... Full Biography
