Laurence Olivier: A Biography (CH) (Charnwood Large Print Library Series)

The first full portrait of one the greatest men of film and theatre. A theatrical legend, Laurence Olivier's early life gave little indication of the pre-eminence he was to attain. Born in 1907, the son of a clergyman, his acting career had an undistinguished beginning. Now, for the first time, the real man is revealed: a lonely, often unhappy man. Based on extensive research, many previously unpublished documents and over 160 interviews, this is the first full biography to appear since his death.
