MINI BIO:
Brown-haired, sandpaper-voiced, intensely staring British actor who moved from stage to films in his late twenties, rose rapidly to the top via Brief Encounter and proved equally at home as hero or villain in a star run of 20 years. Although there were too many cameos in later years, the right part showed that Howard still had the stuff of great acting in him. Married to Helen Cherry (1915-2001) from 1944. Oscar nominee for Sons and Lovers. Died from influenza and bronchitis. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:
.Although Howard was nominated for one Oscar, he never won a competitive Academy Award.
