EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the charisma and wit of Leslie Henson, a renowned British actor, comedian, producer, theatrical director, and filmmaker, in the height of his career. Taken in July 1935, the photograph showcases Henson's expressive face and twinkling eyes, which were known to bring laughter and delight to audiences both on stage and on screen. Born in London in 1889, Henson began his career in the late 1900s as a stage actor, eventually making his mark in the early days of British film and television. He was a versatile performer, excelling in a range of roles from comedic to dramatic, and was particularly known for his collaborations with the legendary British comedian, Charlie Chaplin. Henson's theatrical background shines through in this image, with his impeccable posture and confident demeanor. His signature handlebar mustache and sharp suit add to his distinguished and debonair appearance. Throughout his long and illustrious career, Henson made over 150 films and produced several of his own. He was a pioneer in the British film industry, helping to establish the Elstree Studios, which became a hub for British film production. Despite his many accomplishments, Henson remained humble and dedicated to his craft. He once said, "I have no ambition to be anything but an actor. I have no desire to produce or direct. I am content to play my part and leave the rest to others." This photograph is a testament to Henson's enduring talent and charm, and serves as a reminder of his significant contributions to the world of British theatre and film.
