Sir Alan Arthur Bates, CBE (17 February 1934 – 27 December 2003) was an English actor who came to prominence in the 1960s, a time of high creativity in British cinema, when he appeared in films ranging from the popular children's story ''Whistle Down the Wind'' to the "kitchen sink" drama ''A Kind of Loving''. He is also known for his performance with Anthony Quinn in ''Zorba the Greek'', as well as his roles in ''King of Hearts'', ''Georgy Girl'', ''Far From the Madding Crowd'', and ''The Fixer'', in which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. In 1969, he starred in the Ken Russell film ''Women in Love'' with Oliver Reed and Glenda Jackson. Bates went on to star in ''The Go-Between'', ''An Unmarried Woman'', ''Nijinsky'', and ''The Rose'' with Bette Midler, as well as playing varied roles in television drama, including ''The Mayor of Casterbridge'', Harold Pinter's ''The Collection'', ''A Voyage Round My Father'', ''An Englishman Abroad'' (as Guy Burgess), and ''Pack of Lies''. He also continued to appear on the stage, notably in the plays of Simon Gray, such as ''Butley'' and ''Otherwise Engaged''. ==Early life== Bates was born at the Queen Mary Nursing Home,〔(Alan Bates | Flickr – Photo Sharing! )〕 Darley Abbey, Derby, England, on 17 February 1934, the eldest of three sons of Florence Mary (née Wheatcroft), a housewife and a pianist, and Harold Arthur Bates, an insurance broker and a cellist, who lived in Allestree, Derby, at the time. The family briefly moved to Mickleover, then returned to Allestree. Both of his parents were amateur musicians, and encouraged him to pursue music, but by age 11, young Bates already had determined his life's course as an actor, and so they sent him for dramatic coaching instead. He also saw productions at Derby's Little Theatre. He was educated at the Herbert Strutt Grammar School, Derby Road, Belper, Derbyshire (now 'Strutts', a volunteer led Business & Community Centre) and later gained a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, where he studied with Albert Finney and Peter O'Toole, before leaving to join the RAF for National Service at RAF Newton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alan Bates」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
