From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Cyril Ritchard was born on December 1, 1897 in Sydney, Australia to a devoutly Roman Catholic mother who ensured he was raised and educated as a Catholic. In consequence, he was a devout Roman Catholic who attended Sunday Mass wherever he happened to be.
He was an international star of stage, screen, and TV, as well as a director. He achieved legendary status in 1954 as Captain Hook in the Broadway production of Peter Pan co-starring Mary Martin. He also appeared onstage in productions of Sugar, The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd (with Anthony Newley), Roar Like a Dove and The Irregular Verb to Love.
He died on December 18, 1977, in Chicago, Illinois at the age of 80 from natural causes, having long survived his beloved wife, Madge. They had no children.
NOTE: He is occasionally referred to as Sir Cyril Ritchard but this is a mistake because he was never knighted.
