Hyde-White, Wilfrid (1903–1991)

English actor. He played character roles in British and occasionally US films; for example, the role of Colonel Pickering in the screen version of My Fair Lady (1964). He tended to be cast as an eccentric or a pillar of the establishment, and sometimes as a mixture of the two.

He made his first stage appearance in 1925 and his first film in 1936. The many films in which he was featured include The Third Man (1949), The Million Pound Note (1953), and Let's Make Love (1960). He also appeared on the stage, notably in the West End production of The Reluctant Debutante (1955).
