Chapter 1
EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION
Sir Patrick Stewart, the renowned actor best known for his iconic roles in Star Trek and numerous Shakespearean productions, was born on July 13, 1940, in the town of Mirfield, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. He was born into a working-class family, with his parents, Gladys and Alfred Stewart, playing significant roles in shaping his early life.
Gladys Stewart, Patrick's mother, worked as a weaver and textile worker, while his father, Alfred Stewart, had a distinguished career as a regimental sergeant major in the British Army during World War II. After the war, Alfred transitioned into working as a general laborer and later as a postman. Patrick had two older brothers, Geoffrey and Trevor, who were born in 1933 and 1935, respectively.
The difficulties of growing up in a modest family in the northeastern English town of Jarrow characterized Patrick's childhood. Unfortunately, young Patrick had to endure domestic violence inflicted by his father, Alfred. The trauma he experienced during his formative years would have a lasting impact on his life and career.
The hardships endured by Alfred during his wartime service, particularly during the harrowing Dunkirk evacuation, eventually took a toll on his mental well-being. Today, this condition is recognized as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Reflecting on his father's influence, Patrick once remarked, "My father was a very potent individual, a very powerful man, who got what he wanted. It was said that when he strode onto the parade ground, birds stopped singing. It was many, many years before I realized how my father inserted himself into my work. I've grown a mustache for Macbeth. My father didn't have one, but when I looked in the mirror just before I went on stage, I saw my father's face staring straight back at me."
Patrick Stewart's educational journey began at Crowlees Junior and Infant School, a Church of England-affiliated institution located in Mirfield. It was during these early years that he would meet a pivotal figure who would shape his future career—his English teacher, Cecil Dormand. Mr. Dormand introduced Patrick to the works of William Shakespeare and encouraged him to take the stage, igniting a passion for acting that would become the hallmark of his career.
In 1951, at the age of 11, Patrick transitioned to Mirfield Secondary Modern School, where he continued to pursue his interest in drama. Simultaneously, fate would have it that he crossed paths with another aspiring actor, Brian Blessed, during a drama course in Mytholmroyd. This encounter would mark the beginning of a lifelong friendship between the two actors.
By the age of 15, Patrick Stewart made the bold decision to leave formal education behind, choosing instead to immerse himself in the world of local theatre. To support himself financially, he worked briefly as a newspaper reporter and even wrote obituaries for the local newspaper. However, his heart was firmly set on pursuing a career in acting. He eventually left his journalism job after his boss presented him with an ultimatum: choose acting or journalism.
According to one of his brothers, Patrick was known to attend theatre rehearsals when he was supposed to be working as a journalist and then craft fictional stories for his articles. His determination to follow his passion was unwavering. During this period, he also honed his physical skills by training in boxing.
For Patrick Stewart, acting served as a vital means of self-expression during his youth, allowing him to channel his emotions and experiences into his performances. His talent did not go unnoticed, and he and his friend Brian Blessed were both awarded grants that allowed them to attend the prestigious Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, a significant step towards fulfilling their dreams of becoming accomplished actors.
In this way, Patrick Stewart's early life and education laid the foundation for an extraordinary career in the world of entertainment, where he would go on to become one of the most respected and beloved actors of his generation. His journey from a challenging upbringing in Mirfield to the grand stages of Hollywood and the Royal Shakespeare Company is a testament to his unwavering dedication and immense talent.

ACTING CAREER
Patrick Stewart's illustrious acting career is a testament to his remarkable talent and dedication to the craft. From his humble beginnings in the world of theatre to his iconic role in the Star Trek franchise, Stewart's journey through the world of acting is nothing short of extraordinary.
Stewart's foray into professional theatre began on May 19, 1959, at the Theatre Royal in Bristol, where he performed as Cutpurse, a thief among the audience in a play-within-a-play segment of Cyrano de Bergerac, directed by John Hale. This debut marked the commencement of a career that would span decades and leave an indelible mark on the world of entertainment.
After a period with Manchester's Library Theatre, Stewart achieved a significant milestone when he became a member of the esteemed Royal Shakespeare Company in 1966. His association with the company lasted until 1982, with the additional distinction of being named an associate artist in 1967. During his tenure, he had the privilege of sharing the stage with esteemed actors such as Ben Kingsley and Ian Richardson, solidifying his reputation as a talented and versatile performer.
While pursuing his theatre career, Patrick Stewart also made his first foray into television in January 1967 when he made his debut on the popular British soap opera Coronation Street, playing the role of a fire officer. This marked the beginning of his television journey, which would eventually lead him to international acclaim.
