Trivia

Brother of the actor
Tom Conway. The two appeared together in
The Falcon's Brother, in which they portrayed - appropriately enough - brothers, and which was Sanders' final appearance as "The Falcon", a role he had grown tired of. In this entry, Sanders hands off the role to Conway, who took it up for nine subsequent films through 1946.

Sanders told
David Niven in 1937, that he intended to commit suicide when he got older. In 1972 he fulfilled his promise, leaving this note: "Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck."

After being convinced by a woman he had taken up with, George Sanders sold his beloved house in Majorca. Soon after he checked into a hotel in Barcelona, and two days later, his body was discovered next to five empty tubes of Nembutal.

George is also joined by his real life brother in the 1956 film
Death of a Scoundrel (again playing his screen brother).

First got involved in acting when a secretary in the same advertising firm suggested it. That secretary was
Greer Garson.

Was appearing as the lead in the Broadway-bound musical SHERRY! (with
Dolores Gray) at the time of
Benita Hume's death. He was so upset by her death, that he left the show in its Boston try-out and was replaced by
Clive Revill.

Featured in a crime novel, "Crime On My Hands," in which he solved a murder on a film set. The book was ghost-written by Falcon screenwriter Craig Rice.

Possessed of a fine baritone singing voice, often raised at parties, Sanders released an album entitled "The George Sanders Touch: Songs for the Lovely Lady" (ABC-Paramount: 1958), today a much sought-after collector's item.

Credited as the author of the mystery novel, "Stranger at Home". Book was actually ghostwritten by Leigh Brackett. Book dedication reads, "To Leigh Brackett, whom I have never met".

Is portrayed by
Neil Hunt in
Norma Jean & Marilyn
