Biography
Born in London in 1910, Hawkins was a child actor from the age of thirteen, making his film debut in 1930. In the 1950s, following his role in Fallen Idol, he would be somewhat typecast as the archetypal British police inspector in such films as Home at Seven (1952), The Long Arm (1956) and John Ford's Gideon's Day (1958), while simultaneously appearing prominently in Hollywood epics like Howard Hawks' Land of the Pharaohs (1955) and William Wyler's Ben-Hur (1959). Perhaps his most memorable role, however, was that of General Allenby in David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia. He died in 1973.
