Basil Rathbone
Basil RathboneBorn to British parents in Johannesburg, South Africa, June 13, 1892, Basil Rathbone fled with his family to England after his father was accused of being a spy during the early years of the Second Boer War.

Rathbone carved out a career as a leading man in theater before transplanting his talents to film and ultimately becoming one of Hollywood's most notorious screen villains in such classics as David Copperfield (1935), The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) and The Mark of Zorro (1940). But the actor is also fondly remembered for bringing to life one of literature's most beloved sleuths, Sherlock Holmes, in a string of 14 movies that began with The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (both 1939).

By the time of Rathbone's death on July 21, 1967, he had collected two Oscar nominations for his supporting work in Romeo and Juliet (1936) and If I Were King (1938).
