Derek William Douglas Bond, MC (26 January 1920 – 15 October 2006) was a British actor. ==Life and career== Derek Bond was born 26 January 1920 in Glasgow, Scotland. He attended Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School in Hampstead, London.〔Gavin Gaughan (Obituary: Derek Bond, ) ''The Guardian'', 8 November 2006〕 He saw active service with the Grenadier Guards in North Africa during the Second World War, for which he was awarded the Military Cross.〔Steady, Old Man! Don't You Know There's a War on? Derek Bond, Pen & Sword Books Ltd, 1990. ISBN 0850520460〕 He spent the last few months of the war in Stalag VII-A, a Bavarian POW camp.〔 He enjoyed a varied film, stage and television career, which began in 1938 with experience with the Finchley Amateur Dramatic Society. His conventional good looks secured him a number of dramatic and light comedy roles. He made a lasting impression in the title role of the Ealing Studios production of ''Nicholas Nickleby'' (1947). As well as acting, he wrote a number of scripts; his first drama for television was ''Unscheduled Stop'', produced for ITV's ''Armchair Theatre'' in 1968 and directed by Toby Robertson.〔(White, Leonard. ''Armchair Theatre: The Lost Years'' ). Kelly Publications, 2003: p. 211〕 He was President of the Actors' Union Equity for a tempestuous period during the 1980s. In 1984, because of his intention to perform in South Africa (the country's apartheid system was the cause of a UN-backed cultural boycott), a motion urging Bond to resign was proposed, but rejected, in July 1984. He later resigned when a ban on members working in South Africa became union policy after his return to the UK.〔 Derek Bond was married three times. He died 15 October 2006, in London, and is survived by his third wife Annie, a son, a daughter and a stepson. 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「Derek Bond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
