Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Coming from a theatrical family, Jack Douglas' entry into show business was as a producer, however, not as a performer. His father was a theatrical producer, and Jack followed in his footsteps at an early age--he produced his first show at 15. Douglas showed no interest in the performing end of the business until one night when one of his actors took ill and, there being no replacement, Douglas put on the character's costume and did it himself. He enjoyed it so much that he soon gave up producing comedies and began performing in them. It wasn't long before he became one of the more recognizable character actors in British films, especially in the "Carry On" series, where he played a variation on his most famous character, a nervous, terrified and perpetually fidgety little man.

[in 2003, speaking about <a class="ipc-md-link ipc-md-link--entity" href="/name/nm0416228/?ref_=nmqu_qu">Sidney James</a> and his presence in the &quot;Carry
On...&quot; films] He was like our Rock of Gibraltar.

[speaking about the &quot;Carry On...&quot; films] The &quot;Carry Ons&quot; never stopped
being popular, they were an institution. It was amazing that they came
out and people went to see them, because people could take their
families and there was no question of any filth whatsoever. They appeal
to children and to their grandparents, there was something for everyone.
