John Robert Hale-Monro (1 May 1902 – 9 June 1959), known as Sonnie Hale, was an English actor, screenwriter, and director.[2][3]

Early life

John Robert Hale-Monro was born in Kensington, London, the son of Belle Reynolds and actor Robert Hale. His sister, Binnie Hale, was also an actress. Hale was educated at Beaumont College.[4]

Career

He worked chiefly in musical and revue theatre, but also acted in several films with occasional screenwriting or directing credits.[3] He first performed on stage at the London Pavilion in 1921 in the chorus of the revue Fun of the Fayre.[4] A major personal investment in a show to tour the country planned for late 1939 proved financially ruinous due to the outbreak of war and the subsequent closure of most theatres. His slight acquaintance Evelyn Waugh advised him against such an investment. His reply was reported to be the sardonic "War is good for business, don't you know!"

Hale's play The French Mistress premiered at Wimbledon Theatre in 1955. It later enjoyed a long West End run, before being adapted into the film A French Mistress.

Personal life and death

He was married three times, to:

He left his first marriage to Evelyn Laye for actress Jessie Matthews, an action which led to a backlash among the British public and caused a scandal.

By his second marriage he had one son (died at birth) and one adopted daughter Catherine, Countess Grixoni (born 1935); by his third marriage he had one son, John Robert Hale-Monro (born 1946, died 2013) and a daughter. He also had a daughter Joanna Monro (born 1956) from a subsequent relationship with the actress Frances Bennett.

He died on 9 June 1959 in London from myelofibrosis, aged 57.
