Christopher Hewett, the British-born stage actor
best remembered as television's English butler, "Mr.
Belvedere," died Friday, August 3 2001. He was 80. Christopher,
began his career at age 7 on a stage in Ireland.
Although the stage was his first love, Hewett likely gained his greatest fame playing the endearing
title role on television's "Mr. Belvedere" from 1985 to 1990.
As Lynn Belvedere, he was a one-time
butler for England's royal family who moved to the United States
and wound up working for a dysfunctional family.
Hewett also appeared in several movies,
including "Pool of London" and "The Lavender Hill Mob," both in
1951, as well as the Mel Brooks film "The Producers," in 1968. |
