Laurence Olivier was the most famous actor of his century and one of the greatest of all time. His looks made him an idol; his talent made him a world-renowned actor, director, and producer. From his stage roles as Hamlet and Archie Rice to his screen roles as Heathcliff and Henry V, his range was unparalleled.
