I found this today, and everything Sir Nigel said about his earlier life struck me forcefully as I too experienced all the difficulties he spoke about regarding his homosexuality at that time, especially the black depression. Such fears, such hiding from yourself and others, warping relationships. Then a liberation, but only in later life. I have always admired him as an actor, but even more deeply now as a man. Robert, 73.

Nigel gave us Sir Appleby, an immortal character for generations to come. An amazing talent, it was both joy and sadness to go through his life journey. Along with Paul and Derek, the trio were a masterclass!

As a long term Tokyo resident, I wish I'd known he was on stage here. My loss. It surprised me he was gay, not that it matters, but it just attests to how wonderful an actor he was that nothing about his private life came through on stage or screen. I see many actors (here in Japan) who allow too much of themselves in the character that they are portraying. A true actor plays the part, not him or herself. Sir Nigel Hawthorn is not just an actor, he's a craftsman. To my mind, the highest accolade.

Andrew Jones Productions: Sorry you missed NH in Tokyo, I saw him onstage in London a couple of times and he really was marvellous. You're right of course about his craftsmanship. I thought, however, you might enjoy seeing him in the delightful 1985 BBC adaptation of E. F. Benson's Mapp and Lucia which gives him an opportunity to actually play a gay man, and a very funny one too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWOtc3qtZrmHhrc

Isn't it so true about all the fairies and losers in the gay bars and clubs. That has nothing to do with sexuality, that's about the sort of people who frequent those places. The straight bars and clubs have basically the same problem. If you want to meet anyone of genuine substance the last place to look for them is the bars and clubs.

@@dlamiss He also played CS Lewis on Broadway - for which he won a Tony Award. Joss Ackland played the same role in the movie from which the play was adapted. Usually the movie is adapted from a staged drama or novel. Ackland had the "edge" in the interpretation of the great theologian...being married to an extraordinary, lovely woman named Rosemary...whom he almost lost in a terrible fire...and brought a depth and level of grief deeper than Nigel... Aside from that, Sir Nigel was superb...lovable and kind... RIP...you were a friend to me...
