ReplyDeleteMy dear friend Theodosia,
ReplyDelete"Laurence Olivier" is one of those rare artists who only appear every hundred years. I don't see an actor in Hollywood today who follows in the footsteps of "Baron Olivier".
Another beautiful film biography.
Kisses and have a great start to November!!!

An interesting character, although I must admit that I prefer less theatrical actors in films, and in the film with Marilyn she eliminated him with her charm. Apart from Vivien, who was a great actress.
ReplyDeleteSuch a classic actor :-D

ReplyDeletePamiętam go z filmu " Książę i aktoreczka".
