'''Daniel Patrick Macnee''' (6 February 1922 – 25 June 2015) was a British-American actor best known for his [[breakthrough role]] as secret agent [[John Steed]] in the television series ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' (1961–1969). Starting out as the assistant to David Keel ([[Ian Hendry]]), he became the lead when Hendry left after the first series, and was subsequently partnered with a succession of female assistants. He later reprised the role in ''[[The New Avengers (TV series)|The New Avengers]]'' (1976–1977).

Born in London as the eldest son of socialite [[Dorothea Macnee]], Macnee served in the [[Royal Navy during the Second World War]] before starting his career as an actor in Canadian television. He appeared in numerous television series up until 2001, including the ''[[The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series)|Twilight Zone]]'' episode "[[Judgment Night (The Twilight Zone)|Judgement Night]]" (1959); ''[[Columbo]]''; ''[[Magnum, P.I.]]''; ''[[Hart to Hart]]''; ''[[Murder, She Wrote]]''; ''[[The Love Boat]]''; and ''[[Frasier]]''. In 1984, he was the subject of the British television series ''[[This Is Your Life (British TV series)|This Is Your Life]]''.

Macnee also appeared in [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]]'s music video for "[[Don't Look Back in Anger]]" (1996). He and ''Avengers'' co-star [[Honor Blackman]] had a [[UK Top 10]] hit in 1990 when their 1964 song "[[Kinky Boots (song)|Kinky Boots]]" received renewed interest from being played on [[BBC Radio One]].

Macnee's notable film roles include young [[Jacob Marley]] in ''[[Scrooge (1951 film)|Scrooge]]'' (1951), Sir Denis Eton-Hogg in ''[[This Is Spinal Tap]]'' (1984), and Sir Godfrey Tibbett in ''[[A View to a Kill]]'' (1985). He is one of the few actors to have played both [[Sherlock Holmes]] and [[Dr. Watson]] in different productions.

==Early life and career==
The elder of two sons, Daniel Patrick Macnee was born in [[Paddington]], London, England, on 6 February 1922;<ref name="filmreference">[http://www.filmreference.com/film/54/Patrick-Macnee.html Patrick Macnee profile], filmreference.com; accessed 14 April 2014.</ref> to Daniel Macnee (1878–1952) and British socialite [[Dorothea Macnee|Dorothea Mabel Macnee]] (née Henry) (1896–1984). His father, who was a grandson of the Scottish artist [[Daniel Macnee|Sir Daniel Macnee]], trained race horses in [[Lambourn]], and was known for his dress sense;<ref name="filmreference"/><ref name=Telegraph/> he had served as an officer in the [[Yorkshire Dragoons]] in the [[First World War]].<ref name=wise>[https://books.google.com/books?id=d_mUJebJ4uwC&pg=PA123 International Stars at War]; James E. Wise, Scott Baron; Naval Institute Press, 2002; {{ISBN|1557509654}}; pp. 123–26</ref> His maternal grandmother was Frances Alice Hastings (1870–1945), who was the daughter of [[Vice-Admiral (Royal Navy)|Vice-Admiral]] [[George Fowler Hastings]] and granddaughter of [[Hans Francis Hastings, 12th Earl of Huntingdon|The 12th Earl of Huntingdon]]. His younger brother James, known as Jimmy, was born five years later.<ref>Macnee, P. and Cameron, M.

Macnee's parents separated after his mother [[coming out|came out]] as a lesbian. His father later moved to India, and his mother began to live with her wealthy partner, Evelyn Spottiswoode, whose money came from the [[Dewar's]] whisky business.<ref name=scotsman>[http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/obituary-patrick-macnee-actor-1-3814225 Obituary: Patrick Macnee, actor], The Scotsman, 29 June 2015</ref> Macnee referred to her in his autobiography as "Uncle Evelyn", and she helped pay for his schooling. He was educated at [[Summer Fields School]] and [[Eton College]], where he was a member of the [[Officer Training Corps]] and was one of the [[guard of honour]] for [[King George V]] at [[St George's Chapel]] in 1936. He was later expelled from Eton for selling pornography to and being a [[bookmaker]] for his fellow students.<ref name=Telegraph>{{cite news |title=Patrick Macnee, actor – obituary |newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |date=26 June 2015 |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11699769/Patrick-Macnee-actor-obituary.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11699769/Patrick-Macnee-actor-obituary.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

Macnee studied acting at the [[Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art]], but shortly before he was to perform in his first West End leading role, which would have had him acting alongside [[Vivien Leigh]], he was called up for the [[Royal Navy]].<ref name=Telegraph/> He joined as an [[Ordinary seaman (rating)#United Kingdom|ordinary seaman]] in October 1942<ref name=Telegraph/> and was commissioned a [[sub-lieutenant]] in June 1943, becoming a navigator on [[Motor Torpedo Boats]] in the [[English Channel]] and [[North Sea]].<ref name=wise/> Reassigned as first lieutenant on a second MTB, Macnee caught [[bronchitis]] just before [[Normandy landings|D-Day]]; while he was recuperating in hospital, his boat and crew were lost in action. Two of the crew received the [[Distinguished Service Medal (United Kingdom)|Distinguished Service Medal]].<ref name=Telegraph/> He left the Royal Navy in 1946 as a lieutenant.<ref name=Telegraph/><ref name=wise/>

Macnee nurtured his acting career in Canada early on, but he also appeared as an uncredited extra in the British films ''[[Pygmalion (1938 film)|Pygmalion]]'' (1938), ''[[The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp]]'' (1943) and [[Laurence Olivier]]'s ''[[Hamlet (1948 film)|Hamlet]]'' (1948), as well as some live TV dramas<!-- IMDb has them as 'TV movies', which is inaccurate for the era. --> for the BBC, before graduating to credited roles in such films as ''[[Scrooge (1951 film)|Scrooge]]'' (US: ''A Christmas Carol'', 1951), as young Jacob Marley; the [[Gene Kelly]] vehicle ''[[Les Girls]]'' (1957), as an [[Old Bailey]] barrister; and the war film ''[[The Battle of the River Plate (film)|The Battle of the River Plate]]'' (1956). Between these occasional movie roles, Macnee spent the better part of the 1950s working in dozens of small roles in American and Canadian television and theatre, including an appearance in an episode of ''[[Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond|One Step Beyond]]'' ("Night of April 14th") and ''[[The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series)|The Twilight Zone]]'' ("[[Judgment Night (The Twilight Zone)|Judgment Night]]") in 1959. Disappointed in his limited career development, by the late 1950s Macnee was smoking 80 cigarettes and drinking a bottle of whisky on a daily basis.<ref name=HeraldScotland2015>{{cite web|url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/comment/obituaries/patrick-macnee.130205213|title=Patrick MacNee|work=heraldscotland.com|date= 26 June 2015|access-date=11 July 2015}}</ref>

In the early 1960s, before his career-making role in ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'', Macnee took a break from acting and served as one of the London-based producers for the classic documentary series ''[[The Valiant Years]]'', based on the Second World War memoirs of [[Winston Churchill]].<ref name=MacNee>{{cite web|title=encyclopedia.com|url=http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2-3069600107.html|access-date=21 March 2012}}</ref><ref name=MacNee2>{{cite web|title=avengers.tv|url=http://theavengers.tv/forever/keel-prod-dp2.htm|access-date=21 March 2012}}</ref>

==''The Avengers''==
{{Main|The Avengers (TV series)}}
While working in London on the Churchill series, Macnee was offered the role in ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' (1961–69), (originally intended to be known as ''Jonathan Steed''), for which he became best known. The series was conceived as a vehicle for [[Ian Hendry]],<ref name=Hendry2>{{cite web|title=Official Website of Ian Hendry|url=http://www.ianhendry.com|access-date=6 July 2013}}</ref> who played the lead role of Dr. David Keel in a sequel to an earlier series, ''[[Police Surgeon (UK TV series)|Police Surgeon]]'' (1960), while [[John Steed]] was his assistant. Macnee, though, became the lead after Hendry's departure at the end of the first series.<ref name=Hendry>{{cite web|title=Ian Hendry and The Avengers|url=http://www.ianhendry.com/ian-hendry-and-the-avengers|access-date=6 July 2013|date=5 July 2013}}</ref> Macnee played opposite a succession of glamorous female partners: [[Honor Blackman]], [[Diana Rigg]] and [[Linda Thorson]].<!-- NOTE; Joanna Lumley is mentioned in connection with "The New Avengers" below. --> Of the 161 completed episodes, Macnee appeared in all but two, both from the first series.

Although Macnee evolved in the role as the series progressed, the key elements of Steed's persona and appearance were present from the beginning: the slightly mysterious demeanour and, increasingly, the light, suave, flirting tone with ladies (and always with his female partners). Finally, from the episodes with Blackman onwards, the trademark [[bowler hat]] and umbrella completed the image. Although it was traditionally associated with London "city gents", the ensemble of suit, umbrella and bowler had developed in the [[post-war]] years as [[mufti (dress)|mufti]] for ex-servicemen attending [[Armistice Day]] ceremonies. Steed's sartorial style may also have been drawn from Macnee's father.<ref name=Telegraph/><ref name=scotsman/> Macnee, alongside designer [[Pierre Cardin]], adapted the look into a style all his own, and he went on to design several outfits himself for Steed based on the same basic theme. Steed was also the central character of ''[[The New Avengers (TV series)|The New Avengers]]'' (1976–77), in which he was teamed with agents named Purdey ([[Joanna Lumley]]) and Mike Gambit ([[Gareth Hunt]]).

Macnee insisted on, and was proud of, almost never carrying a gun in the original series; when asked why, he explained, "I'd just come out of a World War in which I'd seen most of my friends blown to bits."<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Johnston|first1=Ian|date=24 March 2011|title=Extreme Style & Steel: Patrick Macnee Of The Avengers Interviewed|journal=[[The Quietus]] |url=http://thequietus.com/articles/05935-patrick-macnee-interview-the-avengers}}</ref> Lumley later said she did most of the gun-slinging in ''The New Avengers'' for the same reason.<ref>{{cite news|title=Joanna Lumley's Avengers character should have been called Charlie |newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |date=11 October 2011 |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8819927/Joanna-Lumleys-Avengers-character-should-have-been-called-Charlie.html|archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8819927/Joanna-Lumleys-Avengers-character-should-have-been-called-Charlie.html|archive-date=12 January 2022|url-access=subscription|url-status=live}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

When asked in June 1982 which ''Avengers'' female lead was his favourite, Macnee declined to give a specific answer. "Well, I'd rather not say. To do so would invite trouble," he told ''[[TV Week]]'' magazine. Macnee did provide his evaluation of the female leads. Of Honor Blackman he said, "She was wonderful, presenting the concept of a strong-willed, independent and liberated woman just as that sort of woman was beginning to emerge in society." Diana Rigg was "One of the world's great actresses. A superb comedienne. I'm convinced that one day she'll be Dame Diana" (his prediction came true in 1994). Linda Thorson was "one of the sexiest women alive" while Joanna Lumley was "superb in the role of Purdey. An actress who is only now realising her immense potential."<ref name="TV Week Steed Lives On">"Steed Lives On.", [[TV Week]]. 5 June 1982, page 61</ref>

Macnee co-wrote two original novels based upon ''The Avengers'' during the 1960s, titled ''Dead Duck'' and ''Deadline''. He hosted the documentary ''The Avengers: The Journey Back'' (1998), directed by Clyde Lucas.<ref name="STARLOG">[https://archive.org/details/starlog_magazine-198 "Medialog: What They Can Do As An Encore"], ''[[Starlog]]'' magazine, Issue 198, January 1994. Cf. p. 6.</ref>

For the critically lambasted film version of ''[[The Avengers (1998 film)|The Avengers]]'' (1998), he lent his voice in a cameo as Invisible Jones. The character John Steed was taken over by [[Ralph Fiennes]].

==Later roles==
[[File:Actor Patrick MacNee in 1998.jpg|thumb|Macnee in 1998]]
Macnee's other significant roles included playing Sir Godfrey Tibbett opposite [[Roger Moore]] in the [[James Bond (film series)|James Bond]] film ''[[A View to a Kill]]'' (1985); as Major Crossley in ''[[The Sea Wolves]]'' (again with Moore); guest roles in ''[[Encounter (1958 TV series)|Encounter]]''; ''[[Alias Smith and Jones]]'' (for [[Glen A. Larson]]); ''[[Magnum, P.I.]]''; ''[[Hart to Hart]]''; ''[[Murder, She Wrote]]'' and ''[[The Love Boat]]''. Although his best known role was heroic, many of his television appearances were as villains; among them were his roles of both the demonic Count Iblis and his provision of the character voice of the Cylons' Imperious Leader in ''[[Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', also for Glen A. Larson, for which he also supplied the show's introductory voiceover. He also presented the American [[paranormal]] series ''Mysteries, Magic and Miracles''. Macnee appeared on Broadway as the star of [[Anthony Shaffer (writer)|Anthony Shaffer]]'s mystery ''[[Sleuth (play)|Sleuth]]'' in 1972–73.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/patrick-macnee-94523 |title=Patrick Macnee|publisher=ibdb.com |access-date=11 February 2019}}</ref> 

Macnee reunited with [[Diana Rigg]] in her short-lived sitcom ''[[Diana (U.S. TV series)|Diana]]'' (1973) in a single episode. Other television appearances include a guest appearance on ''[[Columbo]]'' in the episode "Troubled Waters" (1975); and playing Major Vickers in ''[[For the Term of His Natural Life (miniseries)|For the Term of his Natural Life]]'' (1983). He had recurring roles in the crime series ''Gavilan'' with [[Robert Urich]] and in the short-lived satire on big business, ''Empire'' (1984), as Dr. Calvin Cromwell. Macnee was known for narrating various James Bond Documentaries on Special Edition DVD. He also narrated the documentary ''Ian Fleming: 007's Creator'' (2000).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0306985|title=Ian Fleming: 007's Creator|publisher=[[Internet Movie Database|IMDb]]}}</ref>

Macnee featured prominently in two editions of the long-running British television series ''[[This Is Your Life (British TV series)|This Is Your Life]]'': in 1978, when he and host [[Eamonn Andrews]], both dressed as Steed, surprised [[Ian Hendry]], and in 1984 when he was the edition's unsuspecting subject. Therefore, he also voiced the narrator in the [[Audrey Wood]] VHS adaptation of ''The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear''.

Macnee also appeared in several [[cult film]]s: in ''[[The Howling (film)|The Howling]]'' (1981), as Dr. George Waggner (named whimsically after the director of ''[[The Wolf Man (1941 film)|The Wolf Man]]'', 1941) and as Sir Denis Eton-Hogg in the rockumentary comedy ''[[This Is Spinal Tap]]'' (1984). He played Dr. Stark in ''[[The Creature Wasn't Nice]]'' (1981), also called ''Spaceship'' and ''Naked Space''. Macnee played the role of actor David Mathews in the television movie ''[[Rehearsal for Murder]]'' (1982), which starred [[Robert Preston (actor)|Robert Preston]] and [[Lynn Redgrave]]. The movie was from a script written by ''Columbo'' co-creators Richard Levinson and William Link. He replaced [[Leo G. Carroll]]'s character as the head of U.N.C.L.E. as Sir John Raleigh in ''[[Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E.]]'' (1983), produced by Michael Sloan. He was featured in the science fiction television movie ''[[Super Force]]'' (1990) as E. B. Hungerford (the subsequent series featured Macnee's voiceover as part of a computer simulation of his character), as a supporting character in the parody film ''[[Lobster Man from Mars]]'' (1989) as Professor Plocostomos and in the television film ''The Return of Sam McCloud'' (1989) as Tom Jamison. He made an appearance in ''[[Frasier]]'' (2001),<ref>[http://www.frasieronline.co.uk/episodeguide/season8/ep11.htm Frasier Online Episode Guide: Episode 8.11 – The Show Must Go Off]. Frasieronline.co.uk. Retrieved on 10 August 2011.</ref> and several episodes of the American sci-fi series ''Nightman'' as Dr. Walton, a psychiatrist who advised the main character. Macnee appeared in two episodes of the series ''[[Kung Fu: The Legend Continues]]'' (1993–94) and was a retired agent in a handful of instalments of ''[[Spy Game (TV series)|Spy Game]]'' (1997–98).

Macnee made numerous TV commercials including one around 1990 for [[Swiss Chalet]], the Canadian restaurant chain, and a year or so before, a commercial for the [[Sterling (marque)|Sterling Motor Car Company]]. Over the James Bond theme, the car duels with a motorcycle assailant at high speed through mountainous territory, ultimately eludes the foe, and reaches its destination. Macnee steps out of the car and greets viewers with a smile, saying "I suppose you were expecting someone else". Macnee was the narrator for several "behind-the-scenes" featurettes for the James Bond series of DVDs and recorded numerous audio books, including the releases of many novels by [[Jack Higgins]]. He also recorded the children's books ''The Musical Life of Gustav Mole'' and its sequel, ''The Lost Music (Gustav Mole's War on Noise),'' both written by Michael Twinn.

Macnee featured in two pop videos: as Steed in original ''Avengers'' footage in [[Pretenders (band)|The Pretenders]]' video for their song "[[Don't Get Me Wrong]]" (1986) and in the promotion for [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]]' video "[[Don't Look Back in Anger]]" (1996), as the band's driver, a role similar to that which he played in the James Bond film ''[[A View to a Kill]]'' (1985). In 1990, his recording with his ''Avengers'' co-star [[Honor Blackman]], called "[[Kinky Boots (song)|Kinky Boots]]" (1964), reached the [[UK Singles Chart]] after being played on [[Simon Mayo]]'s [[BBC Radio One]] breakfast show.

===Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson===
Macnee appeared in ''[[Magnum, P.I.]]'' (1984) as a retired British agent who suffered from the delusion that he was [[Sherlock Holmes]], in a season four episode titled ''Holmes Is Where the Heart Is''. He played both Holmes and [[Dr. Watson]] on several occasions. He played Watson three times: once alongside [[Roger Moore]]'s Sherlock Holmes in the television film ''[[Sherlock Holmes in New York]]'' (1976), and twice with [[Christopher Lee]], first in ''[[Sherlock Holmes and the Leading Lady]]'' (1991), and then in ''[[Incident at Victoria Falls]]'' (1992). He played Holmes in another television film ''[[The Hound of London]]'' (1993), along with the Canadian television film ''Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Temporal Nexus'' (1996).<ref>{{cite book | last=McMullen | first=Kieran E. | title=The many Watsons | publisher=MX Publishing | publication-place=London | date=2012 | isbn=978-1-78092-304-8 | oclc=828139736}}</ref> He is thus one of only a small number of actors to have portrayed both Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson on screen.<ref>Alan Barnes (2002).

==Personal life==
Macnee married his first wife Barbara Douglas (1921–2012) in 1942. They had two children, Rupert and Jenny, and a grandson, Christopher ("Kit"). After they were divorced in 1956, his second marriage (1965–1969) was to actress [[Katherine Woodville (actress)|Katherine Woodville]]. From 1973 to 1991, Macnee owned a home in the Deep Well neighborhood of [[Palm Springs, California#Neighborhoods|Palm Springs, California]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Meeks|first1=Eric G.|title=The Best Guide Ever to Palm Springs Celebrity Homes|date=2014|orig-year=2012|publisher=Horatio Limburger Oglethorpe|isbn=978-1479328598|pages=247–48, 251}}</ref> His third marriage was to Baba Majos de Nagyzsenye, daughter of opera singer [[Ella Némethy]].
