Alan Badel was a British thespian who graduated from RADA as a Gold Medal winner and made an instant impact on the stage in both modern and classical roles. He was known for his velvety, resonant voice and commanding personality, but never quite made it to the top of the screen. He was a star in the theatre, particularly after his tour-de-force impersonation of 19th century actor Edmund Kean in Jean-Paul Sartre's 1971 play. His motion picture career included parts in Salome (1953), Magic Fire (1956) and This Sporting Life (1963). On the small screen, he was excellent as Edmund Dantes in The Count of Monte Cristo (1964) and as the eccentric, enigmatic Count Fosco in The Woman in White (1982). Badel also had a distinguished military record, having served with the 13th Parachute Battalion in Operation Overlord, the D-Day landings in 1944. He fought in the Normandy and Ardennes Campaigns and the subsequent advance through northern Germany, and was posted to the Far East as part of the 6th Airborne Division for a projected invasion of Japan. He died unexpectedly in 1982 at the age of 58.
