Sir Laurence Olivier, the legendary actor and director, is captured in this rare print alongside Anne Castaldini as they embark on rehearsals for his first ever television appearance. The year is 1958, and the production they are preparing for is 'John Gabriel Borkman' for ATV. Born in Dorking, Surrey on May 22nd, 1907, Olivier's illustrious career spanned decades and left an indelible mark on both stage and screen. Throughout his life, he was married three times to Jill Esmond, Vivien Leigh (from 1940 to 1960), and Joan Plowwright. Olivier's journey began with a film debut in 'Too Many Crooks' in 1930 before establishing himself as a versatile actor through captivating performances in classic and modern plays on London's esteemed stages. He also took up directing roles at the Old Vic Theatre where he showcased his exceptional talent. During World War II, Olivier served in the Fleet Air Arm primarily entertaining troops. His patriotism shone through when he directed his first film 'Henry V' in 1945. This monumental achievement paved the way for further success throughout his career. Notably recognized by receiving nine Academy Award nominations along with one Best Actor award for his iconic portrayal of Hamlet in 1948, Olivier became Sir Laurence Olivier after being knighted in 1947. In an unprecedented move within the acting community, he was made a peer in 1970 – becoming Lord Olivier – marking him as the first actor to receive such distinction. This print captures a momentous chapter of Sir Laurence Olivier's life as he embarks on yet another groundbreaking endeavor.
