Publisher's Synopsis
Hollywood superstar; Oscar-winning director; greatest stage actor of the 20th century: no one could challenge Laurence Olivier's range and power. By the 1940s he had achieved international stardom, and he became as accomplished a director as he was a leading man. With access to more than fifty hours of candid, unpublished interviews, Philip Ziegler ensures that Olivier's true character - at its most undisguised - shines through as never before.
