Basil Rathbone (1892–1967) Painting by fan, artist Arthur K. Miller.
Basil Rathbone was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1892, but three years later his family was forced to flee the country because his father was accused by the Boers of being a British spy at a time when Dutch-British conflicts were leading to the Boer War. The Rathbones escaped to England, with Basil and his two younger siblings.
