His career as an actor spanned more than 40 years. His upper-class English accent and bass voice often led him to be cast as sophisticated but villainous characters. He is perhaps best known as Jack Favell in ''Rebecca'' (1940), Scott ffolliott in ''Foreign Correspondent'' (1940), Addison DeWitt in ''All About Eve'' (1950), King Richard the Lionheart in ''King Richard and the Crusaders'' (1954), the voice of the malevolent man-hating tiger Shere Khan in Disney's ''The Jungle Book'' (1967), and as Simon Templar, "The Saint", in five films made in the 1930s and 1940s. ==Early life== Sanders was born in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire, at number 6 Petrovski Ostrov. His parents were Henry Peter Ernest Sanders 〔(geni.com )〕(1868–1960),〔freebmd.org.uk (deaths)〕 and Margarethe Jenny Bertha Sanders (1883–1967) ''née'' Kolbe, born in Saint Petersburg, of mostly German, but also Estonian and Scottish ancestry.〔(geni.com )〕 A biography published in 1990 claimed that Sanders's father was the illegitimate son of a Russian noblewoman of the Czar’s court and a prince of the House of Oldenburg, married to a sister of the Czar.. The actor Tom Conway (1904–1967) was George Sanders's elder brother. Their younger sister, Margaret Sanders, was born in 1912. George Sanders was 11 when, in 1917, at the outbreak of the Russian Revolution, the family moved to England.〔Sanders 1960, pp. 9–10, 13.〕 Like his brother, he attended Bedales School and Brighton College, a boys' independent school in Brighton, then went on to Manchester Technical College.〔Sanders 1960, p. 17.〕 After graduating he worked at an advertising agency, where the company secretary, the aspiring actress Greer Garson, suggested that he take up a career in acting.〔Sanders 1960, p. 54.〕 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「George Sanders」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
