About This Item
London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1982 0297781065. First edition. Hardback. Almost 9.5" by 6". 305 pages including index, plus many B/W photos. Small neat inscriptions on blank end page opposite title page, but otherwise VG in very worn DW which has had some repairs but is intact apart from being price clipped. (I will throw in as a bonus offer a VG uninscribed paperback copy of Melvyn Bragg's excellent 126 page biography of Olivier as revised in 1989 after the latter's death in that year.) Laurence Olivier was a true legend. No classical actor had ever been such a dazzling star. No star had been such a magnificent actor. In this marvellous autobiography Laurence Olivier tells his own story: his brilliant career as actor, director, film-maker and producer; his role as husband to three women including Vivien Leigh and Joan Plowright; and his many friendships - with Sir Ralph Richardson, Noel Coward and Sir Winston Churchill, to name just a few. CONFESSIONS OF AN ACTOR is more than just a memoir. It is a deeply felt testament by one of the most astonishingly gifted artists of all time. .
