Leslie Howard (actor)
Leslie Howard (3 April 18931 June 1943) was an English stage and film actor, director, and producer.〔Obituary ''Variety'', 9 June 1943.〕 Probably best remembered for playing Ashley Wilkes in ''Gone with the Wind'' (1939), he also appeared in ''Berkeley Square'' (1933), ''Of Human Bondage'' (1934), ''The Scarlet Pimpernel'' (1934), ''The Petrified Forest'' (1936), ''Pygmalion'' (1938), ''Intermezzo'' (1939), ''"Pimpernel" Smith'' (1941) and ''The First of the Few'' (1942).
Howard's Second World War activities included acting and filmmaking. He was active in anti-German propaganda and reputedly involved with British or Allied Intelligence, which may have led to his death in 1943 when an airliner on which he was a passenger was shot down over the Bay of Biscay, sparking conspiracy theories regarding his death.
==Early life==
Howard was born Leslie Howard Steiner to a British mother, Lilian (''née'' Blumberg), and a Hungarian father, Ferdinand Steiner, in Forest Hill, London, England. His father was Jewish and his mother was raised a Christian; her own grandfather was a Jewish immigrant from East Prussia who had married into the English upper middle classes.〔Eforgan 2010, pp. 1–10.〕〔Nathan, John. ("Leslie Howard: The Lost Actor, The life and death of a non-spy." ) ''The Jewish Chronicle'', 20 December 2010. Retrieved: 20 December 2010.〕 He was educated at Alleyn's School, London. Like many others around the time of the First World War, the family changed their name, using "Stainer" as less German-sounding. He worked as a bank clerk before enlisting at the outbreak of the First World War. He served in the British Army as a subaltern in the Northamptonshire Yeomanry, but suffered shell shock, which led to his relinquishing his commission in May 1916.
