Actor Born: May 31, 1922 in London, England, UK Death: October 6, 1992 in Ibiza, Spain Biography:A much-loved character actor, British native "Denholm Elliott" performed in over 100 films during the course of his long career. Elliott, who was educated at Malvern College, went on stage just after World War II, and made his first film, "Dear Mr. Prohack", in 1949. Often coming across as a sort of British "Ralph Bellamy", Elliot specialized in playing pleasant but ineffectual types during the 1950s, switching to dignified and slightly stuffy characters as he grew grayer. In 1964, he made a major impression on international audiences by playing the tattered gentleman who teaches "Alan Bates" the tricks of social and financial climbing in "Nothing but the Best" -- only to be strangled by Bates with his old school tie. With tight lips and taciturn glances, Elliott was the official who closed down "Elliott Gould"'s burlesque house in "The Night They Raided Minsky's" (1968).
