Basil Rathbone was an English actor and is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, starting in 1939 and ending in 1946. He made fourteen movies alongside Nigel Bruce as Dr John Watson over the next seven years. But, like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Rathbone became bored with the great detective and felt typecast as Holmes. Rathbone quit the role in 1946, and returned to the stage work which he loved. Soon, however, he missed the financial rewards that Holmes had brought him, and decided to make one more reappearance as the character. Rathbone starred as Sherlock Holmes again in a play written by his wife Ouida, but the production was a complete flop and only managed to run for three performances.

  • Basil Rathbone (June 13, 1892 - July 21, 1967), known for his role as Sherlock Holmes, narrated The Wind in the Willows segment in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. The Disney animators later used recordings of him as Sherlock Holmes in The Great Mouse Detective. His role as Sherlock Holmes was later spoofed by Genie in the TV series, Aladdin.
  • Rathbone wurde als Sohn einer Geigerin und eines Bergbauingeneurs geboren. Als Basil Rathbone gerade mal 3 war, floh seine Familie aus Südafrika nach Großbritannien, weil sein Vater verdächtigt wurde ein britischer Spion zu sein, später sagte Basil in einem Interview, dass er nicht weiß, ob sein Vater ein Spion war, er hat ihn nie danach gefragt. Das Paar wurde 1926 geschieden und Rathbone heiratete 1927 die Drehbuchautorin Oudia Rathbone. Basil ist mit dem heutigen Schauspieler Jackson Rathbone und der Parteilosen Politikerin der 1900er Eleanor Rathbone verwandt.
