Performing Experience
Peter Sellers was born in 1925 into a wealthy performing family in England. Both his parents worked in the theater run by his grandmother. His brother died during childbirth, and as the only child in the family, he was doted by his family.
After joining the army, he participated in World War II and met Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe, and Michael Bentine as future work partners. After the war, he went to London, where he dubbed and became famous in the radio drama "The Fool's Show" (1951-1961). His film debut was in "in Penny Points to Paradise" in 1951, followed by "Down Among the Z Men" in 1952 and "The Sister Killer" in 1955. He was performing these exaggerations almost throughout the 1950sIt was not until he played a labor leader in "I'm All Right Back" (1959) that he took his acting career to a new level and started his own magnificent performance in the 1960s. In 1962, he played two roles in Stanley Kubrick 's " Lolita ", playing the playboy Clare Quilty and Dr. Zempf. In 1964, in " Dr. Strange-love " , also directed by Kubrick , he took on the performance of the three protagonists alone and was nominated for the first Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role . But starting with his failed performance in Woody Allen 's screenwriting debut " What's New, Pussycat " (1965), he starred in the Pink Naughty Panther series in the 70s purely for economic reasons . In 1972, he read Jerzy Kosinski's novel "Being There" and determined to put it on the screen, which was " Being There " seven years later . Peter Sellers won an Oscar nomination for this film. , This film is a well-known political satire comedy in the late 1970s, and it is also his last posthumous work-in 1980, Peter Sellers passed away in the second year after the film was completed. And the film " The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu " that he directed and starred in was proved to be another failed film.
