ROBERT NEWTON was a talented English actor who started his film career in 1932, and played all kinds of roles from an Elizabethan Spaniard, to a German U-Boat officer, from Bill Sikes in Oliver Twist to Ancient Pistol in Henry V, from Javert in Les Miserables to Mr Fix in Around the World in Eighty Days.
Even though purists complain of lack of resemblance to Robert Louis Stevenson’s description of the character, his leering, growling, over-the-top portrayal of Long John Silver in the 1950 film version of Treasure Island became a definitive one, and something of a career trap.
He subsequently played Blackbeard, the pirate, and reprised the role of Long John in an Australian sequel to Treasure Island and an Australian TV series.
As long as people say, “Arrrr!” his memory lives on!
