He went to Hollywood at the late age of 37, but still enjoyed half-a-dozen good years in bigger-budget MGM facsimiles of his British successes. He ended his star career in continental action films. Married to Elspeth March (1939-1949) and Jean Simmons (1950-1960): first and second of three. Died from prostate and bone cancer. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:
