Trivia
Child: son Edward Hardwicke
Received his knighthood in 1934.
When Hardwicke was knighted in 1934, the hard-of-hearing 'King George V', after being prompted by a courtier, announced after dubbing the kneeling actor: "Rise, Sir Cedric Pickwick."
When Hardwicke died, his money was so eaten up by hospital expenses incurred during his final illness that there was no money left to pay for a funeral. Several actors' funds, in honor of his long, distinguished career, donated the money.
He was reputedly George Bernard Shaw's favourite actor.
Was nominated for Broadway's 1959 Tony Award as Best Actor (Dramatic) for "A Majority of One."
