Dec 19 2009
STAR Trek actor Patrick Stewart is to be knighted in the New Year's Honours.
The 69-year-old movie star and thespian will be one of the big names in the honours list announced by the Queen.
Patrick has had a 50-year career in theatre and films including 16 years with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
But he is best known as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films.
Senior sources said the Queen was an admirer of the famously bald star.
The actor was born in Mirfield, Yorkshire, the son of a weaver and an army officer.
But his father beat his mother and he admitted this had a huge impact on him.
Patrick left school at 15 to become a reporter before moving into acting.
