Brass star, commemorating, Charles Laughton, English stage and film actor, London at the Royal Academy, Dramatic Art, born Scarborough, Yorkshire,1899


Charles Laughton (1 July 1899–15 December 1962) was an Academy Award-winning English stage and film actor, screenwriter, producer and one-time director. He became an American citizen in 1950. While best known for his historical roles in films, he started his career as a remarkable stage actor. During a time when many serious stage actors despised the motion picture medium, seeing it only as a source of income, Laughton showed keen and serious interest in the pioneering possibilities of film, and later other media, such as radio, recordings, and TV, proving that quality work could be made available to audiences other than theatre-goers.
