Donald Hewlett’s zodiac sign is Virgo. According to astrologers, Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although they are often tender, their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won’t accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of their nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time.
Donald Hewlett was born in the Year of the Monkey. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Monkey thrive on having fun. They’re energetic, upbeat, and good at listening but lack self-control. They like being active and stimulated and enjoy pleasing self before pleasing others. They’re heart-breakers, not good at long-term relationships, morals are weak. Compatible with Rat or Dragon.
Best known for his portrayals of upper-class military types, Donald Hewlett's father was Conservative MP for Manchester Exchange. He studied geography and meteorology at St. John's College, Cambridge. Early in World War II, he served at the Fleet Air Arm station of Kirkwall in the Orkneys, providing weather reports for Atlantic convoys.
He was later assigned to the Royal Navy during North Atlantic action aboard the light cruisers Malaya and Galatea. He rose to the rank of lieutenant. He was subsequently posted to Singapore, in charge of Japanese POW's and as entertainments officer.
He graduated from RADA with the Athene Seyler Prize for Comedy and his first professional stage appearance was in repertory at the Oxford Playhouse. Hewlett became most familiar to British television viewers for his regular role in the sitcom It Ain't Half Hot Mum (1974), a series which was very popular at the time but is never repeated now because it is considered very politically incorrect.
Cult television fans also remember him as Hardiman in Doctor Who: The Claws of Axos: Episode One (1971), one of the many British officials who came up against Jon Pertwee's Doctor in the series.
