Wilfrid Hyde-White; English Actor of Stage, Films, TV
Wilfrid Hyde-White, the impeccably attired, properly mannered character in scores of Hollywood’s and England’s finest films, died Monday morning of heart failure.
Louella M. Benson, spokeswoman for the Motion Picture Country Home and Hospital in Woodland Hills, where Hyde-White had lived since 1985, said he was 87 when he died there.
Born in Bourton-on-the-Water in England and a onetime student at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, Hyde-White until a few years ago never strayed for long from his native land.
Between appearances in such roles as Col. Pickering in the film version of “My Fair Lady,” he returned to England in the summer to perform in plays--usually revivals of works by Oscar Wilde or George Bernard Shaw. He also appeared in regional theaters in this country, reviving his famous comedy roles in “The Reluctant Debutante” and “Not in the Book.”
But it was motion pictures and television that made his sharply featured, aristocratic face distinguishable.
From 1936, when he appeared in the British film “Rembrandt,” to the 1979 TV series “The Associates,” in which he starred as aging barrister Emerson Marshall, he worked steadily with stars ranging from Charles Laughton to Orson Welles to Lucille Ball
