Kenneth Gilbert More CBE (20 September 1914 – 12 July 1982) was an English film and stage actor. Raised to stardom by the vintage car based film-comedy ''Genevieve'' (1953), he appeared in many roles as a carefree, happy-go-lucky gent. His biggest hits from this period include ''Raising a Riot'' (1955), ''Reach for the Sky'' (1956), and ''The Admirable Crichton'' (1958). He starred in ''Doctor in the House'' (1954), the first of the popular ''Doctor'' film series. Although his career declined in the early 1960s, two of his own favourite films date from this time – ''The Comedy Man'' (1964) and ''The Greengage Summer'' (1961) with Susannah York, "one of the happiest films on which I have ever worked."〔Kenneth More (1978) ''More or Less'', Hodder & Stoughton. ISBN 0-340-22603-X〕 He also enjoyed a revival in the much-acclaimed TV adaptation of ''The Forsyte Saga'' (1967) and the ''Father Brown'' series. ==Early life== Kenneth More was born in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, the only son of Charles Gilbert More, a Royal Naval Air Service pilot, and Edith Winifred Watkins, the daughter of a Cardiff solicitor. He was educated at Victoria College, Jersey, having spent part of his childhood in the Channel Islands, where his father was general manager of the Jersey Eastern Railway. After he left school, he followed the family tradition by training as a civil engineer. He gave up his training and worked for a while in Sainsbury's. When More was 17 his father died, and he applied to join the RAF, but failed the medical test for equilibrium. He went to Canada, intending to work as a fur trapper, but was sent back for lacking immigration papers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kenneth More」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
