English: Earlston Jewitt Cameron, CBE (8 August 1917 – 3 July 2020) was an British actor born in the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda. Along with Cy Grant, he was one of the first black actors to break the "colour bar" in the United Kingdom. With his appearance in "Pool of London" (1951), Cameron became one of the first black actors to take up a starring role in a British film after Paul Robeson, Nina Mae McKinney, and Elisabeth Welch in the 1930s. He appeared in the fourth James Bond film, “Thunderball” (1965), playing an intelligence operative in the Bahamas opposite Sean Connery.
