Laurence Olivier
Laurence Kerr Olivier, Baron Olivier,
OM, (;
22 May 1907 –
11 July 1989) was an
Academy Award,
Golden Globe,
BAFTA and
Emmy winning
English actor,
director, and
producer. He is one of the most famous and revered actors of the 20th century, along with his contemporaries
John Gielgud,
Peggy Ashcroft and
Ralph Richardson. 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
Academy 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.
