James Harcourt, a celebrated and distinguished actor of considerable renown, first drew breath on April 20, 1873, in the quaint and picturesque town of Headingley, situated within the rolling hills and lush landscapes of the historic and storied county of Yorkshire, a region nestled comfortably within the borders of England, a country renowned for its rich cultural heritage, stunning natural beauty, and proud tradition of artistic and literary excellence, all of which served as a fitting backdrop for the early life and formative years of this talented thespian.
Noted thespian, he carved out a lasting legacy within the realm of cinematic storytelling, leaving an indelible imprint on the world of motion pictures, with standout performances in a diverse array of films, including the critically acclaimed "Hobson's Choice" released in 1931, the 1940 thriller "Night Train to Munich", and the 1936 drama "Laburnum Grove".
James Harcourt's existence finally drew to a close on February 18, 1951, in the vibrant and densely populated urban center of London, a city located within the boundaries of England, a country that is part of the larger political entity known as the United Kingdom.
