Kenneth Haigh’s zodiac sign is Aries. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.
Kenneth Haigh was born in the Year of the Goat. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Goat enjoy being alone in their thoughts. They’re creative, thinkers, wanderers, unorganized, high-strung and insecure, and can be anxiety-ridden. They need lots of love, support and reassurance. Appearance is important too. Compatible with Pig or Rabbit.
Born in Mexborough, West Riding of Yorkshire, Haigh studied drama at the Central School of Speech and Drama, then based at the Royal Albert Hall, London. He played the central role of Jimmy Porter in the premiere production of John Osborne's play Look Back in Anger in 1956 at the Royal Court Theatre. His performance in a 1958 Broadway theatre production of that play so moved one young woman in the audience that she mounted the stage and slapped him in mid-performance. For the film version released in 1959, he was passed over in favour of Richard Burton. Coincidentally, he went on to portray the Explorer and adventurer Richard Francis Burton in the BBC production of The Search for the Nile. He also briefly appeared in the Beatles' film A Hard Day's Night (1964).
Haigh made occasional appearances on American television, and his most recognisable appearance is that of time-travelling FLIGHT Lieutenant william Terrance Decker in The Twilight Zone episode "The Last Flight" (1960). He also portrayed Pat Casey in Lionel Bart's Maggie May.
Later he portrayed Joe Lampton, a character created by John Braine in the novel Room at the Top, in the television series Man at the Top (1970–72) and the spin-off film Man at the Top (1973).
Haigh married the West Indian model Myrna Stephens in 1974. They divorced in 1985 but remained good friends; she nursed him through his final years of ill health.
Kenneth Haigh died on 4 February 2018, aged 86. He had spent his last years in a nursing home after oxygen deprivation led to brain damage in 2003 following his swallowing of a bone in a Soho restaurant.
