Stanley Holloway
Oyuncu · 1890 – 1982 · Manor Park, London, England, UK
Stanley Augustus Holloway, OBE (1 October 1890 – 30 January 1982) was an English stage and film actor, comedian, singer, poet and monologist. He was famous for his comic and character roles on stage and screen, especially that of Alfred P. Doolittle in My Fair Lady. He was also renowned for his recordings of comic monologues and songs, which he performed throughout most of his 70-year career. Born in London, in his early years Holloway pursued a career as a clerk. He made early stage appearances before infantry service in the First World War. After the war he joined a concert party, "The Co-Optimists", and his career began to flourish. At first he was chiefly employed as a singer, but his skills as an actor and reciter of comic monologues were soon recognised. Characters from his monologues such as Sam Small, invented by Holloway, and Albert Ramsbottom, created for him by Marriott Edgar, were absorbed into popular British culture. By the 1930s, he was in demand to star in music hall, pantomime and musical comedy. In the 1940s and early 1950s, Holloway moved from the musical stage to acting in plays and films. He made well-received stage and film appearances in Shakespeare, and in a series of films for Ealing Studios. In 1956 he was cast as the irresponsible Alfred P. Doolittle in My Fair Lady, a role that he played on Broadway, in the West End and later on film, which brought him international fame. In his later years, Holloway appeared in television series in the U.S. and the UK, toured in revue, appeared in stage plays in Britain, Canada, Australia and the U.S., and continued to make films into his eighties.

Film7.5KomediRomantikProf. Higgins, yağmurlu bir gecede, Londra Covent Garden'daki operadan çıkan kalabalığın arasında çiçek satan, ağzı bozuk Eliza Doolittle'a rastlar. Hırçın ve kaba davranışlarıyla etrafa sataşmaktan kendini alamayan muzip genç kız, sadece argo değil, üstelik berbat bir aksanla da konuşmaktadır. Higgins, kendisi gibi bir dil bilimci olan dostu Albay Pickering ile bir bahse girer: Eliza üstüne para alarak profesörün evinde kalacak ve diksiyon kursları alacaktır. Higgins, genç kızı tamamen yola getireceğine ve Eliza'nın bir süre sonra gerçek bir hanımefendiden ayırt edilemeyeceğini iddia etmektedir. Bernard Shaw'ın 1912 tarihli oyunu Pygmalion'dan uyarlanan ve Broadway'de 1956-62 yılları arasında büyük sükse yapan My Fair Lady'nin başarısı, sahne müzikalini uyarlayan Alan Jay Lerner'in film yönetmeni George Cukor'la işbirliğini doğurdu. Eliza rolünün kariyerinin zirvesindeki Audrey Hepburn'e verilmesiyle de sinema tarihinin zafer anlarından biri tescillenmiş oldu.
