Bogarde, Sir Dirk
orig. Derek Niven van den Bogaerde

born March 28, 1921, London, Eng.
died May 8, 1999, London

British actor.

The son of a Dutch-born art critic, he made his stage debut in 1939 and won a film contract from the Rank studios after World War II. After appearing for a decade mainly in light comedies such as Doctor in the House (1953), he began demonstrating his acting range in serious films such as The Doctor's Dilemma (1958), The Servant (1963), Darling (1965), and Providence (1977).

Derek Jules Gaspard Ulric Niven Van den Bogaerde 
      British motion picture actor who was one of Great Britain's top box-office leading men in the 1950s, notably in Doctor in the House (1954) and its sequels, but he later excelled in darker, more complex character roles, such as the blackmailed homosexual lawyer in Victim (1961), the sinister manservant in The Servant (1963), and the doomed Gustav von Aschenbach in Death in Venice (1971). Beginning in 1977 Bogarde published a series of well-received memoirs, as well as novels and book reviews; he was knighted in 1992 (b. March 28, 1921, London, Eng.—d. May 8, 1999, London).
