MORE INFO ON JAMES MASON: James Neville Mason (15 May 1909 – 27 July Mason was born in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, to John and Mabel Mason; his father was a wealthy merchant. Mason had no formal training as an actor and initially embarked upon it for fun. He was educated at Marlborough College, and earned a first in architecture at Peterhouse, Cambridge where he became involved in stock theatre companies in his spare time. After Cambridge he joined the Old Vic theatre in London under the guidance of Tyrone Guthrie and Alexander Korda, who gave Mason a small film role in 1933 but fired him a few days into shooting.From 1935 to 1948 he starred in many British quota quickies. A conscientious objector during World War II (something which caused his family to break with him for many years), he became immensely popular for his brooding anti-heroes in the Gainsborough series of melodramas of the 1940s, including The Man in Grey and The Wicked Lady. He also starred with Deborah Kerr and Robert Newton in 1942's Hatter's Castle. Mason starred in the critically acclaimed and immensely popular The Seventh Veil that set box office records in postwar Britain and catapulted him to international film stardom. In 1949, he made his first Hollywood film, Caught, and then went on to star in many more feature films and early TV shows. Nominated three times for an Oscar, he never won one.His roles include Norman Maine in the 1954 version of A Star Is Born, Johnny, a mortally wounded Irish revolutionary, in Odd Man Out, Brutus in Julius Caesar, General Erwin Rommel in The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel, and in The Desert Rats, Captain Nemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a small town school teacher driven insane by the effects of Cortisone in Bigger Than Life, a suave master spy in North by Northwest, a determined explorer in Journey to the Center of the Earth, Humbert Humbert in Stanley Kubrick's Lolita, a hired assassin sent to kill Peter O'Toole and thereby prevent him from leading a peasant uprising in Lord Jim, the vampire's servant, Richard Straker, in Salem's Lot, and a surreal pirate-ship captain in Yellowbeard. One of his last roles, that of corrupt lawyer James Concannon in The Verdict, earned him his third and final Oscar nomination.Mason was once considered to play James Bond in a 1958 TV adaptation of From Russia with Love, which was ultimately never produced. Despite being in his fifties, he was still under consideration to play Bond in Dr. No before Sean Connery was cast. He was also approached to appear as Bond villain Hugo Drax in Moonraker, but he turned it down despite his renowned tendency to take any job offered him – which led to appearances in films such as The Yin and the Yang of Mr. Go, Bloodline and Hunt the Man Down. His final screen-work was playing the lead role in Doctor Fischer of Geneva (adapted from the Graham Greene novel of the same title) as an eccentric, wealthy businessman who enjoys humiliating the Swiss upper class.When living in the old Buster Keaton home, Mason discovered some lost nitrate stock films of the famed silent comic and arranged for their preservation. In 1980 he lent his voice to the first definitive documentary series of the silent-era, Hollywood produced by Thames Television. Late in life, he also served as narrator for Unknown Chaplin, a British television series on the films of Charlie Chaplin, which was aired in the U.S. on PBS and later issued on home video.In the late 1970s, Mason became a mentor to up-and-coming actor Sam Neill.Mason was married twice; the first was to British-American actress Pamela Mason (née Ostrer) in 1941. The couple had one daughter, Portland Mason Schuyler (1948–2004), and one son, Morgan. Portland Mason was named after Portland Hoffa, the wife of the American radio comedian Fred Allen; the Allens and Masons were friends. Morgan Mason is married to Belinda Carlisle, the former lead singer of The Go-Go's.Mason was a devoted lover of animals, particularly cats. He and Pamela Kellino Mason co-authored the book The Cats in Our Lives, which was published in 1949. James Mason wrote most of the book and illustrated it. In The Cats in Our Lives, he recounted humorous and sometimes touching tales of the cats (as well as a few dogs) he had known and loved.James and Pamela Mason had an acrimonious divorce in 1964. James later married Australian actress Clarissa Kaye in 1971.Mason's autobiography, Before I Forget, was published in 1981.Mason survived a major heart attack in 1959 and died as a result of another on 27 July 1984 in Lausanne, Switzerland. He was cremated and (after a delay of 16 years) his ashes were buried in Corsier-sur-Vevey, Vaud, Switzerland.The remains of Mason's old friend, Charlie Chaplin, are in a tomb a few steps away.Winning buyder agrees in advance to pay an additional Mail postage (Foreign orders will require additional postage) and to remit full payment within 10 days after notification from the seller.
