Fair use rationale for Image:GordonJackson.jpg
Image:GordonJackson.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Second World War
He went to work for Rolls Royce at 15, does that mean he had a reserve occupation at the outbreak of hostilities? Therefore he was exemtp from compulsory conscription or was there another reason (e.g.medical)? It's just very conspicuous that what he did in the years 1941-45 are absent from this biography? Save for a couple of films. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.3.203 (talk) 14:12, 23 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Draughtsman at Rolls-Royce was very much a reserved occupation and it seems he continued to work at Rolls-Royce between films. http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/460213/index.html Making films could also be considered war work (public morale being important). Peter Ustinov and David Niven worked on The Way Ahead while actually serving in the Army. Khamba Tendal (talk) 13:40, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Did not like "being Hudson"
I read somewhere that Jackson did not like playing Hudson because the character was too subservient. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.23.105.146 (talk) 07:56, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
