Shaftesbury, Dorset, England, UK:
Robert Newton fue uno de los grandes actores de carácter –y grandes personajes– del cine británico, mejor recordado hoy por interpretar a Long John Silver en La isla del tesoro (1950) y su secuela en 1954. Su interpretación de Long John Silver y de Barbanegra , el Pirata (1952) creó una personalidad tan indeleble que sus entonaciones vocales crearon el paradigma para decenas de personas que quieren "hablar como un pirata". La actuación eclipsa el legado de Newton, que se basa en muchas actuaciones de primer nivel en películas como This Happy Breed (1944), Odd Man Out (1947) y Oliver Twist (1948), donde su Bill Sykes es realmente escalofriante. Oliver Reed, quien interpretó a Sykes en la película musical Oliver!, ganadora del Oscar. (1968) fue influenciado por Newton.
