MINI BIO:
Brown-haired, sandpaper-voiced, intensely staring British actor who moved from stage to films in his late twenties, rose rapidly to the top via Brief Encounter and proved equally at home as hero or villain in a star run of 20 years. Although there were too many cameos in later years, the right part showed that Howard still had the stuff of great acting in him. Married to Helen Cherry (1915-2001) from 1944. Oscar nominee for Sons and Lovers. Died from influenza and bronchitis. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:
.Although Howard was nominated for one Oscar, he never won a competitive Academy Award.

Trevor Howard Quotes:
Group Capt. Hope: Bad as we thought, Sir?
Air Vice Marshal Keith Park: [upset] Worse! Kenley and Biggin are a *shambles* and the rest not much better. God Knows how many aircraft we'll have in the morning! All because 12 Group couldn't do their stuff. Leigh-Mallory and his big wings! Might as well stay on the *ground* for all the *use* they are!
Senior civil servant: Churchill puts great faith in radar.
Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding: It's vital, but it won't shot down aircraft.
Senior civil servant: Ha... well I must say you don't, exactly exude a spirit of optimism.
Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding: God willing we will hold out minister.
Senior civil servant: I see. So I tell the cabinet, that you're trusting in radar and praying to God, is that right?
Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding: [chuckles] more accurately the other way round. Trusting in god and praying for radar. But the essential arithmetic is that our young men will have to shoot down their young men at the rate of four to one, if we're to keep pace at all.
Lieutenant Stebbings RAN: We could have transferred George Dickens from the interior if he hadn't gotten himself eaten that way.
Commander Frank Houghton RAN: You needn't make him sound such a shirker, Stebbings.
