Timeline
In the early seventies, he wrote an autobiography, which was not published at the time. "Not Just Batman's Butler" was finally published in September, 2015 by McFarland Press with annotations and additional chapters by James Bigwood, who first met him in 1975, when profiling him for "Films in Review".
In Tim Burton's remake Batman (1989), the Joker's alter ego is named Jack Napier, in Alan Napier's honor.
However, he is best remembered as the ever reliable, and very English, butler Alfred Pennyworth on Batman (1966), starring Adam West. Napier's second wife, Aileen Dickens Bouchier Hawksley (nicknamed "Gypsy"), was a great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens.
Henry Daniell suffered a fatal heart attack while working on My Fair Lady (1964), and the role was completed by Napier.
His characterisation of Menenius in a 1954 Boston revival of "Coriolanus" was described in the Christian Science Monitor (January 23, 1954) as imbued with "benevolent distinction and with some of the comic quality of the part". However, by that time, Napier had largely forsaken the stage for the screen.
He gave good support in the supernatural thriller The Uninvited (1944) and lent gravitas to his role of Cicero in Julius Caesar (1953).
Had appeared with George Sanders in eight films: The House of the Seven Gables (1940), Appointment in Berlin (1943), Action in Arabia (1944), Hangover Square (1945), The Strange Woman (1946), Forever Amber (1947), Lured (1947) and Moonfleet (1955).
In 1939, Alan Napier immigrated to America and, in the course of nearly five decades, appeared in film and on television as noblemen, manservants and doctors. His gaunt, suave, sometimes bespectacled characters could be kindly or nefarious.
During the 1930s, he found his niche in Shakespearean roles.
A cousin of the former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, he studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and spent his formative years as an actor with Oxford Repertory and, from 1924, on the London stage.
Alan Napier was born on January 7, 1903 in Kings Norton, Worcestershire, England. Tall, distinguished-looking English character actor with aristocratic bearing and precisely modulated voice.
