Eille Norwood

Eille Norwood

Eille Norwood (1861-1948) was a British actor who spent most of his screen career playing Sherlock Holmes. He was born Anthony Edward Brett in York, England. He apparently took his stage name from his lady friend Eileen and the town of Norwood. From 1920 to 1923 he played Holmes in forty-seven silent films lasting about 20 minutes each. Hubert Willis played Watson in nearly all these films.For the final Holmes film,however, Hubert Willis was replaced by Arthur Cullin.Given that some Sherlock Holmes stories had not even been written yet, Norwood stands as the actor who played Holmes the most times in existing stories.

Quote

*Conan Doyle himself admired Norwood's portrayal, saying: "His wonderful impersonation of Holmes has amazed me." [ [http://www.bbc.co.uk/bradford/content/articles/2007/02/27/sherlock_holmes_huddersfield_feature.shtml Where I live: Bradford and West Yorkshire] ]
