Forest Hill, London, England, UK:
Leslie Howard Steiner, bekannt als Leslie Howard, war ein englischer Schauspieler, Regisseur und Produzent. Er schrieb zahlreiche Geschichten und Artikel für die New York Times, den New Yorker und Vanity Fair und zählte in den 1930er-Jahren zu den größten Publikumsmagneten und Filmidolen. Howard war sowohl in Großbritannien als auch in Hollywood aktiv und spielte Ashley Wilkes in „Vom Winde verweht“ (1939). Er wirkte in vielen weiteren Filmen mit, oft in der Rolle des Inbegriffs des Engländers, darunter „Berkeley Square“ (1933), „Of Human Bondage“ (1934), „Die scharlachrote Blume“ (1934), „Der versteinerte Wald“ (1936), „Der Roman eines Blumenmädchens“ (1938), „Intermezzo“ (1939), „Pimpernel“ Smith (1941) und „The First of the Few“ (1942). Für seine Rollen in „Berkeley Square“ und „Der Roman eines Blumenmädchens“ wurde er jeweils für den Oscar als Bester Hauptdarsteller nominiert. Howards Aktivitäten während des Zweiten Weltkriegs umfassten Schauspielerei und Filmproduktion. Es kursierten Gerüchte über seine Verbindungen zum britischen oder alliierten Geheimdienst, was Verschwörungstheorien über seinen Tod im Jahr 1943 auslöste, als die Luftwaffe den BOAC-Flug 777 über dem Atlantik (vor der Küste von Cedeira, A Coruña) abschoss, an Bord der er als Passagier war.
