George Henry Sanders was a British actor whose career spanned over four decades. Renowned for his suave, upper-class English accent and cynical, world-weary persona, he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the acid-tongued theatre critic Addison DeWitt in 'All About Eve'. Sanders also gained fame as the voice of the villainous tiger Shere Khan in Disney's 'The Jungle Book'. His personal life was as complex as his on-screen characters, culminating in his tragic suicide in 1972, leaving behind a note famously stating he was bored.
