Known as an author, actor, scriptwriter and film producer, Julian Fellowes has been hugely successful in his career. On the small screen he is perhaps best known for his roles in Sharpe's Regiment (in which he plays the Prince Regent), as the Duke of Richmond in the BBC's Aristocrats and as Lord Kilwillie in the TV series Monarch of the Glen. Gosford Park, Julian’s first screenplay for the cinema, which was commissioned by the American director Robert Altman, won him international acclaim and the Academy Award for Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen, in 2002. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of the English aristocracy, his script “combined waspish one-liners with movingly understated pathos” and was a worthy winner of the Oscar in a “very strong year for original scripts”. Julian has also written television scripts, most notably Little Lord Fauntleroy (winner of 1995 International Emmy) and The Prince and the Pauper (nominated for a BAFTA 1998). He is now engaged on writing a script about the young Queen Victoria for the coming Martin Scorsese film. Also much in demand as a witty TV and radio personality, appearing often on talk and quiz shows and as a lecturer, and with a recently published acclaimed novel ‘Snobs’ (2004), we are very fortunate to have Julian as the Patron of the Friends of Holy Trinity. Julian was bequeathed the title of Lord of the Manor of Tattershall (Lincolnshire) by his father, the late Peregrine Fellowes. He is married to Lady Emma Kitchener, Lady-in-Waiting to HRH Princess Michael of Kent, and Lady of the Manor of Tattershall The following are links to other sites of interest: http://imdb.com/name/nm0271501/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Fellowes |
