INKvember #7 – Death of Leslie Phillips.
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.10, 2022, under Caricatures, Cartooning
To Americans, Leslie Phillips is nearly unknown. In the U.K., Phillips had been one of the longest performing actors until his death Monday at 98. His work is mostly known for comedies of various sorts and popular series, like the ‘Carry On’ and ‘Doctor in…’ films.
His career spanned from the late ’30s to present. Unlike the lofty silliness of the U.S. Hollywood, where a “Star” is relegated to film or television or whatever the stage in life requires, in the U.K. an actor can do whatever they want and do. Phillips would slide from a comedy to a television spot to a serious film to a children’s television spot and back to film again.
He was one of favorite actors that i was tickled was still with us and was routing for him to hit his 100.
I drew and made most of this as I drew as #INKvember #7.
I’m thinking I made add some other actresses and actors still with us and with a long, noted career to my INKvember activities.
That will also aid getting back t caricature, something that has become far more difficult due to the wrist and arm break.
