An absolutely brilliant actor, such a shame about how he (supposedly, obviously I don't know personally!) treated others- and himself. Just goes to show how different people can be when they're off camera.
Unrecognizable here, but the benefit of the Carry On Films is that he remains immortal as an eccentric and mischevious and beloved character and not the person his alcoholism and mental issues made him off-screen. He was so bad that he wasn't included in Carry Ons after Abroad though to be fair his very last scene in Abroad is a brilliant send off for him, entering the bar ready to cause mischief again.
“After laying a million eggs the female oyster changes her sex,” says Hawtrey to a female companion in Hitchcock’s Sabotage (1936). She replies, “I don’t blame her!”
Charles Hawtrey was talking with a few people and his mother was with him.She must have been using her handbag as an ashtray.Suddenly someone said Charles you mums bag has smoke coming out of it.He just casually picked up her cup of tea and poured it into the bag and carried on talking as if nothing happened. He thought everyone were peasants.
SO SAD. These actors of that era were paid peanuts considering the magnitude of their talents in movies and comedies. To be cast off like that by BBC after they were no longer profitable, is a sin..immoral ! They made so many people laugh ....we wont have such comedy anymore...now its all crass and vulgar.
+Jessie james....im not sure Charles hawtrey ever worked for the bbc...he worked for peter rogers of carry ons and on atv/itv but pretty sure no bbc tho I may be wrong, but if iam he certainly wouldn't have been contracted to them like other stars such as hancock and sid james etc
Manning was a comedian, comedy is subjective and what you May consider vile, others do not. Charles hawTrey was a sick fuck who fucked kids. Good riddance. One trick pony anyway same shitty character always. He was terrible .
He was reportedly a strange person that was a chronic alcoholic who went around the pubs calling people peasants. If someone asked him for his autograph he told them to piss off even if it was a child.
Charles Hawtrey Lived in Deal -*Kent Since the late 1960"s Until he's passed away in 1988.. He was great in the carry on But as one says that's a character not the real person , My name's muggings Charlie muggings 😂 Carry on camping ⛺🎬📺

That can happen to anyone who falls under the clutches of alcolism tho.
A real eccentric character and great in film. The world is a richer place with colourful characters. God forbid blandness and conformty
Nine people attended his funeral, with none being friends or family.
More than I expect to attend mine. He was lucky!
I have seen him in quite a few other films, but he was always Charles Hawtrey. A fascinating story if it is actually true.

Hawtrey should have been prosecuted for child abuse.

its such a shame of society that such a beautiful sprit had to hide himself and his private life behind secrets ,
He was reportedly a strange person that was a chronic alcoholic who went around the pubs calling people peasants. If someone asked him for his autograph he told them to piss off even if it was a child.
beautiful spirit? Son, his house was burned down by a FIFTEEN year old boy who he had just fucked in the ass.
