Laurence Olivier Laurence Kerr Olivier, Baron Olivier, ( 22 May 1907 - 11 July 1989 ) was an English actor, director, and producer. He was one of the most famous and revered actors of the 20th century, along with his contemporaries John Gielgud, Peggy Ashcroft and Ralph Richardson. He married Jill Esmond, Vivien Leigh and Joan Plowright . Olivier played a wide variety of roles on stage and screen from Greek tragedy, Shakespeare and Restoration comedy to modern American and British drama. He was the first artistic director of the National Theatre of Great Britain and its main stage is named in his honour. He is generally regarded to be the greatest actor of the 20th century, in the same category as David Garrick, Richard Burbage, Edmund Kean and Henry Irving in their own centuries. Olivier's AMPAS acknowledgments are considerable — fourteen Oscar nominations, with two wins (for Best Actor and Best Picture for the 1948 film Hamlet), and two honorary awards including a statuette and certificate. He was also awarded five Emmy awards from the nine nominations he received. Additionally, he was a three-time Golden Globe and BAFTA winner . 6.25"x 4.25" HAND SIGNED PHOTO 100% GENUINE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I HAVE BEEN A COLLECTOR OF AUTOGRAPHS AND MEMORABILIA AS A HOBBY FOR OVER 35 YEARS, I HAVE ONLY EVER PURCHASED FROM A SELECTED GROUP OF REPUTABLE COLLECTORS AND DEALERS, MANY WHO ARE TRUSTED UACC MEMBERS GUARANTEED TO PASS ANY AUTHENTICATION SERVICE I DO NOT SELL PRE-PRINTS, COPIES OR AUTOPENS ALL AUTOGRAPHS ARE HAND SIGNED BY THE CELEBRITY THEMSELVES I ALWAYS COMBINE SHIPPING, IF YOU PURCHASE MORE THAN ONE ITEM I WILL GIVE FEEDBACK TO BUYERS WHEN FEEDBACK IS LEFT FOR ME THIS LETS ME KNOW THAT THE BUYER HAS RECEIVED THEIR ITEM AND ALL IS WELL IF FOR SOME REASON YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH YOUR PURCHASE, SIMPLY RETURN IT BACK WITHIN 14 DAYS FOR A REFUND ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
