ERIC BLORE
Eric Blore

Biography:Eric Blore (December 23, 1887 - March 2, 1959) was an English comic actor. Blore was born in London.

He worked as an insurance agent for a time. He gained theater experience while touring Australia. Eventually he appeared in several shows and revues in England. In 1923 he went to the United States and began playing character roles on Broadway. After the death of his first wife, Violet Winter, he married Clara Mackin in 1926.

He moved onto film and appeared in over eighty Hollywood films. Blore, in his role as an English butler, appeared more frequently than any other supporting player in the series of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals at RKO, five of nine. Some of his most memorable on-screen moments took place in Top Hat (1935) and Shall We Dance (1937). He reprised this role with Astaire for a final time in The Sky's the Limit (1943), delivering the line: "If I were not such a gentleman's gentleman, I could be such a cad's cad". Other memorable roles included Sir Alfred McGlennan Keith in the Preston Sturges film The Lady Eve (1941) with Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda, and a small part as Charles Kimble in the second of the seven Bing Crosby-Bob Hope "Road" films, Road to Zanzibar (1941).

Blore died of a heart attack on March 2, 1959 in Hollywood, California.

His death caused an unexpected stir, quite independent of his fame. The young Kenneth Tynan, writing for the New Yorker, had recently made a mistaken reference to ‘the late Eric Blore’, and this got past the normally vigilant checking department. When Blore’s lawyer demanded a retraction, the editor had no choice but to pass this demand on to Tynan, pointing out in a fury that this was the first retraction ever to appear in that uniquely authoritative magazine. In disgrace, Tynan prepared a major apology, to appear prominently in the next issue. On the eve of publication, when the edition was printed and ready for delivery, Blore dropped dead. So next morning, the daily papers announced Blore’s death, while the New Yorker apologised for any insult to Mr. Blore’s feelings through their erroneous report of his demise!
