James Fox Career

Career

In 1950, Fox appeared on film for the first time in The Miniver Story. William Fox, his birth name, made his early screen appearances, both in film and television.

When Tony Richardson gave him a small part in the film The Lonelines of the Long Distance Runner (1962), he was working in a bank. Fox's father attempted to prevent this from happening, claiming that his son was no natural actor and that losing his career would disrupt his life for him; nevertheless, Fox accepted the challenge.

In 1964, he received the BAFTA Award for Most Promising Newcomer for his appearance in The Servant (1963).

Ken Annakin's Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines was released on June 16, 1965. Fox is featured in this British period comedy film starring Stuart Whitman, Sarah Miles, Robert Morley, Terry-Thomas, Red Skelton, Benny Hill, Gert Fröbe, and Alberto Sordi. The film, which revolved around early aviation's boom, is about a young army officer (Miles) and her fiancé (Fox), who is convinced by his daughter (Miles) and her fiancée (Fox), to coordinate an air race from London to Paris. The winner is given a substantial sum of money, attracting a variety of characters to participate. The film received accolades from critics who described it as funny, vibrant, and clever, as well as capturing the early enthusiasm for aviation. It was considered a major production by the time, one of only three full-length 70 mm Todd-AO Fox releases in 1965 with an intermission and musical interlude as part of the original screenings. The film was first seen in deluxe cinerama theaters, where visitors needed reserved seats ahead of time. The film earned $31,111,111,111,111,111 theatrically and on home video $29,950,000. Audience reactions, both in the first and later years, are almost universal in terms of the film's reputation as one of the "classic" aviation films.

King Rat (1965), The Chase (1966), Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967), and Performance (1970) are among his other films he appeared in during this period.

Fox stopped acting after finishing his film (released in 1970 but not shot in 1968). Critics at a preview screening reportedly walked out, with one film executive's wife reportedly throwing up in the theater.

In a 2008 interview, he said, "It was just part of my journey...I think my journey was to spend a long time away from acting." And, I never lost track of it – watching movies, reading about it – so I don't feel I missed it."

He became an evangelical Christian, serving with the Navigators and devoting himself to the ministry. The only film in which Fox appeared was No Longer Alone (1976), a tragic woman who was led to faith in Jesus Christ by Ruth Bell Graham.

After an absence from acting for many years, Fox appeared on television in Trevor Griffiths' "Country" play, a comedy drama set against the 1945 UK parliamentary elections, a comedy comedy set against the 1945 UK parliamentary elections. On film, he appeared in Stephen Poliakoff's Runners (1983), A Passage to India (1984), and Comrades (1986). In Alan Bennett's BBC play A Question of Attribution (1992), he played Anthony Blunt. Lord Holmes appeared in Patriot Games (1992), as well as Colonel Ferguson in Farewell to the King and the Nazi-sympathizing aristocrat Lord Darlington in The Remains of the Day (1993).

He has been playing Mr. Salt, Veruca Salt's father, since appearing in the 2000 film Sexy Beast, Agatha Christie's Poirot's 2001 film adaptation. He appeared in the Doctor Who audio drama Shada, and in 2007, he appeared in the British television crime drama Waking the Dead. In "Allegory of Love," the third series of Lewis, he appeared alongside his son Laurence Fox. Sir Thomas, the leading member of a freemason-like secret society, was a member of Sherlock Holmes' cast (2009).

He produced Cleanskin, a terrorist thriller directed by Hadi Hajaig, in 2010, and in 2011 he portrayed King George V in Madonna's film W.E.

Where are the Miss World winners now?As the annual beauty pageant kicks off in India, how the former queens have gone on to practise law and enter politics

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 9, 2024
Though some people are becoming more vocal, Miss World's tradition - at least for now - lives on. Eric Morley's 1951 creation of the Festival of Britain, a contest that was officially launched in the United Kingdom, was branded by the term Festival Bikini Contest. In fact, the event's primary aim was to advertise the bikini, a relatively recent addition to the fashion market, and it was reportedly the newspaper that dubbed the tournament, which at the time was considered by some to be rather immodest, 'Miss World.' The pageant introduced a new tag: Beauty With a Purpose in 1980, in an attempt to combat this. The additional challenges of intelligence and personality assessments were put to the participants. However, this was not enough for the BBC to continue broadcasting the event, ditching it in 1984, after which it was moved to other channels including ITV, Thames Television, Sky One, and Channel 5. 'I think these contests no longer warrant national air time,' BBC1 controller Michael Grade said when he stopped the show.'I believe these contests no longer warrant national air time.' They are an anachronism in this day and age of equality and conflict that is on the march.' Here's FEMAIL looks at what happened to some of the contestants after they were crowned in the controversial competition.
