Derek Niven Van den Bogaerde / Dirk Bogarde 1921-1999
Nicknamed
the British
Rock Hudson,
Sir Dirk
was Britain's
leading movie star
during the 1950's,
when he starred
in adventure films
and lightweight comedies,
among them
an immensely
popular series
that included
''Doctor in the House''
(1954),
''Doctor at Sea''
(1956),
''Doctor at Large''
(1957)
and ''Doctor in Distress''
(1963).
In the 1960's,
Sir Dirk
gave a series
of brilliant
performances
as intelligent, complex
and often morally
compromised men
in such movies
as ''The Servant,''
''King and Country,''
''Darling''
and
''Accident.''
