About this product
Product Information
Laurence Olivier (1907-89) was perhaps the last great actor in the old tradition of heroic self-indulgence. He played every part with a frank enjoyment of theatricality which made the experience even more memorable for his audience. In the 1930s he established himself as a wide-ranging Shakespearean actor - alternating Romeo and Mercutio with John Gielgud at the New Theatre in 1935. By the end of the decade he had also demonstrated a powerful screen personality in "Wuthering Heights" (1939). His marriage in 1940 to Vivien Leigh (his second wife) seemed to complete the image of the romanticstar.From the mid-40s he excelled in directing himself in Shakespeare on film, such as his dramatically shot "Henry V"(1944), with its timely excesses of patriotism. When the new wave of British drama began in the late 1950s, Olivier was immediately part of it. As an actor of such wide range, and a successful producer and director, Olivier was a natural choice to bring the National Theatre into existence in 1963. Together with his new wife Joan Plowright (they had married in 1961), he built up a brilliant company and repertoire at the Old Vic. Olivier became the first actor to be given a peerage.

Reviews
'Not only does the author tell us what we need to know about the stage productions, the films and, of course, the three wives and other loves, he also draws an irresistible picture of the man himself. Beckett's Olivier is a great talent, but also a monster of egotism who undermined all who came into contact with him. The tragedy of Vivien Leigh, it is implied, is to be laid squarely at his door. Beckett sticks the knife in at every opportunity, but does it so elegantly that one can quite forgive him.', 'Haus, the enterprising new imprint, adds another name to its list of short biographies ' -- GREG NEALE, BBC History, This short book is an excellent way of boning up on the great actor. Not only does the author tell us what we need to know about the stage productions, the films and...the three wives and other loves, he also draws an irresistible picture of the man himself.
