# Quote 1 I had never read comics before I [was hired for Batman (1966)]. My agent rang up and said, "I think you are going to play on Batman." I said, "What is Batman?" He said, "Don't you read the comics?" I said, "No, never." He said, "I think you are going to be Batman's butler." I said, "How do I know I want to be Batman's butler?" It was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard of. He said, "It may be worth over $100,000." So I said, "I was Batman's butler.".
# Fact 1 In the early seventies, he wrote an autobiography, which was not published at the time. "Not Just Batman's Butler" was finally published in September, 2015 by McFarland Press with annotations and additional chapters by James Bigwood, who first met him in 1975, when profiling him for "Films in Review". 2 He was initially reluctant to sign on to play Bruce Wayne's butler, Alfred Pennyworth, on Batman (1966) before a friend pointed out to him that the series would make him the most famous butler in the world. 3 Had appeared with George Sanders in eight films: The House of the Seven Gables (1940), Appointment in Berlin (1943), Action in Arabia (1944), Hangover Square (1945), The Strange Woman (1946), Forever Amber (1947), Lured (1947) and Moonfleet (1955). 4 Close friends with Michael Gough , who later played Alfred Pennyworth in Batman (1989), Batman Returns (1992), Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997). 5 Henry Daniell suffered a fatal heart attack while working on My Fair Lady (1964), and the role was completed by Napier.6 In Tim Burton 's remake Batman (1989), the Joker's alter ego is named Jack Napier, in Alan Napier's honor. 7 Following his death, his ashes were spread out on his rose garden at his home in Pacific Palisades, California. 8 Best remembered by the public for his role as Alfred Pennyworth on the television series Batman (1966). 9 Father of Jennifer Nichols . 10 Immigrated to the United States on April 28, 1939. 11 Maternal stepgrandfather of actor Brian Forster . 12 Attended and graduated from Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). 13 Attended and graduated from Clifton College in Bristol, England. 14 Cousin of Neville Chamberlain (British Prime Minister, 1937-1940).
