Alec Guinness
Sir Alec Guinness (2 April 19145 August 2000) was an English actor. After an early career on the stage he was featured in several of the Ealing Comedies, including ''The Ladykillers'' and ''Kind Hearts and Coronets'' in which he played eight different characters. He is also known for his six collaborations with David Lean: Herbert Pocket in ''Great Expectations'' (1946), Fagin in ''Oliver Twist'' (1948), Col. Nicholson in ''The Bridge on the River Kwai'' (1957, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor), Prince Faisal in ''Lawrence of Arabia'' (1962), General Yevgraf Zhivago in ''Doctor Zhivago'' (1965), and Professor Godbole in ''A Passage to India'' (1984). He is also known for his portrayal of Obi-Wan Kenobi in George Lucas's original ''Star Wars'' trilogy, receiving a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Guinness was one of three major British actors, along with Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud, who successfully made the transition from Shakespearean theatre in their home country to Hollywood blockbusters immediately after the Second World War. As well as an Academy Award, he has also won a BAFTA Award, Golden Globe and a Tony Award. In 1959, he was knighted by Elizabeth II for services to the arts. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960, received the Academy Honorary Award for lifetime achievement in 1980, and the BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award in 1989.
==Early life==
Guinness was born at 155 Lauderdale Mansions South, Lauderdale Road, Maida Vale, as Alec Guinness de Cuffe.〔GRO Register of Births: June 1914 1a 39 Paddington – Alec Guinness De Cuffe, mmn = De Cuffe.〕 His mother's maiden name was Agnes Cuff. She was born 8 December 1890 to Edward Cuff and Mary Ann Benfield. On Guinness's birth certificate, the space for the mother's name shows ''Agnes de Cuffe''. The space for the infant's name (where first names only are given) says ''Alec Guinness''. The column for name and surname of father is blank.〔("Alec Guinness." ) ''Hollywood Walk of Fame'' (Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, Hollywood, California), 2011. Retrieved: 22 June 2011.〕
The identity of Guinness's father has never been officially confirmed〔("Alec Guinness biography." ) ''MSN Movies.'' Retrieved: 29 July 2007.〕 although it has been speculated that he may have been a member of the Anglo-Irish Guinness family. From 1875, under English law, when the birth of an illegitimate child was registered, the father's name could be entered on the certificate only if he were present and gave his consent. Guinness himself believed that his father was a Scottish banker, Andrew Geddes (1861-1928), who paid for Guinness's public school (in American idiom, ''private school'') education. Geddes occasionally visited Guinness and his mother, posing as an uncle.〔Read, Piers Paul. ''Alec Guinness: The Authorised Biography''. New York: Simon & Schuster, 2005. ISBN 978-0-7432-4498-5.〕 Guinness's mother later had a short marriage to a British soldier who had survived the Anglo-Irish War, but suffered from shell-shock, or what today would likely be known as PTSD. His behavior was often erratic or even violent.〔("Guinness: The black stuff" ), guardian.co; retrieved 8 April 2012.〕
