Tony Hancock est un Acteur et Scénariste Britannique né le 12 mai 1924 à Birmingham (Royaume-uni)
Anthony John "Tony" Hancock (12 May 1924 – 25 June 1968) was an English comedian and actor.
Popular during the 1950s and early 1960s, he had a major success with his BBC series Hancock's Half Hour, first on radio from 1954, then on television from 1956, in which he soon formed a strong professional and personal bond with comic actor Sid James. Although Hancock's decision to cease working with James around 1960 disappointed many of his fans at the time, his last BBC series in 1961 contains some of his best remembered work ("The Blood Donor"). After breaking with his scriptwriters Ray Galton and Alan Simpson later that year, his career took a downward course because of his alcoholism.
The situation became more complicated as Freddie Ross (who worked as his publicist from 1954) became more involved in his life, eventually becoming his mistress. He divorced his first wife in 1965, and married Ross in December of that year. This second marriage was short-lived. During these years Hancock was also involved with Joan Le Mesurier (née Malin), the new wife of actor John Le Mesurier, Hancock's best friend and a regular supporting character-actor from his television series. Joan was later to describe the relationship in her book Lady Don't Fall Backwards, including the claim that her husband readily forgave the affair. If it had been anyone else, he said, he wouldn't have understood it, but with Tony Hancock, it made sense. In July 1966, Freddie took an overdose, but survived. Arriving in Blackpool to record an edition of his variety series, Hancock was met by pressmen asking about his wife's attempted suicide. The final dissolution of the marriage took place a few days ahead of Hancock's own suicide.
Cicely developed her own problems with alcohol and died from a fall in 1969, the year after the death of her former husband. Freddie Hancock survived her broken marriage and resumed her career as a prominent publicist and agent in the film and television industry. Based in New York City for many years, she founded the East Coast chapter of BAFTA, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.

Hancock est un employé de bureau londonien qui démissionne de son service pour se consacrer à plein temps à sa vocation de peintre. Il travaille avec enthousiasme à ce qu'il considère comme son chef d’œuvre, Aphrodite au bain, et part pour Paris où son génie, pense-t-il, sera reconnu. Là, son sens de l'humour et sa personnalité généreuse lui valent l'estime du milieu bohème, mais bientôt, la critique, Sir Charles Broward en tête, l'éreinte ; pourtant, à la faveur d'un quiproquo (il est pris pour l'auteur du tableau de son colocataire, un artiste véritablement remarquable), Hancock finit par tromper son monde et renverse la situation. Mais l'imposture est finalement déjouée après quelques expositions. Hancock n'a plus qu'à rentrer à Londres, où il continuera de s'adonner à son œuvre, au mépris du jugement d'autrui.
