British actor Stewart Granger was born James Stewart on 6th May, 1913 in London. He studied acting at the Webber-Douglas School of Dramatic Art and began getting work as an extra in British films in 1933. In the late 1930s he adopted his professional name in order to avoid confusion with recent star, James Stewart. He worked with various stage companies before getting his first lead role in So This Is London (1940).

In the 1940s, Granger was one of British films' two top romantic leading men (along with James Mason) and a steady Box Office draw, attracting the interest of Hollywood. He signed with MGM in 1950 and for the next seven years played a variety of virile "he-man" types such as romantic swashbucklers and white hunters. He did his own stunt work.

After becoming a U.S. citizen in 1956, Granger began freelancing, appearing again in British films as well as in international productions in the following decade. He began accepting starring roles on TV in the early 1970s.

In total he made more than 60 movies, but once grumbled that he couldn't stand any of them.

From 1950-60 Stewart Granger was married to actress Jean Simmons, the second of his three wives. He proposed to her after seeing her as Kanchi in Black Narcissus (1947). He was married three times and had an extramarital affair with Deborah Kerr.

He died of cancer on 16th August, 1993 in Santa Monica, California, USA. (From www.leninimports.com)
