Biography: Seller shot to fame alongside Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and Michael Bentine on BBC radio’s The Goon Show. Branching into film, he appeared in The Ladykillers alongside Alec Guinness in 1955, before a number of high-profile movies in which he played multiple roles: The Mouse that Roared (1959), Stanley Kubrick’s Lolita (1962), and most famously in Kubrick’s minor masterpiece Dr Strangelove for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. A long association with director Blake Edwards ensued with roles in Casino Royale (1967), The Party (1968) and six films as the inept Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther detective series. After many years in the critical wilderness, Sellers was once again nominated for an Oscar for his role in Being There (1979), a welcome return to form. Sadly, he died the following year in 1980.
