Comments: For all you Olivier fans out there- I strongly recomend you read "confessions of an actor". In this book Olivier tells his own story- which might as well have been a best selling novel, he writes with both precision and discression, giving his story a sense of fantasy- but a chilling remind of the reality he faced. There is also a touching honesty to Larry's tale, in that in much of it he discredits himself- the troubles with Vivien for instance you may have expected him to blame her- no, 'I stood and prayed for forgiveness for all the evils that had sprung up between us…. It has always been impossible for me not to believe that I was somehow the cause of Vivien's disturbances.’ A story you will not forget.

Comments: Sir Laurence, Lord Olivier, or just plain Larry (his preference). Whatever you want to call he is and will be in a class of his own for ever! 'no actor has been such a dazzling star, no star was such a magnificent actor' the words from his autobiography are not wrong.
I was only 2 when he died but i've re-discovered the legend and i'm sorry I could appreciate his talent.Love him forever!
(I have been nicknamed Lauren Olivier by my my school play cast).

Comments: "No classical actor was ever such a dazzling star, and no star was such a magnificent actor."That's what it says on his autobiogrphy and they couldn't put it better!
I am so pleased that someone has created this site for all us Olvier fans to enjoy. I wasn't born when Olvier was wowing audiences with classical and modern texts, but I'd gladly transport myself back if it meant appearing with such a legend as Sir Laurence (Larry).

Comments: talented good looking comic and classic, this man could play roles so well you would believe he was born for the parts, i loved his wit in the divorce of lady x and felt a strange protectiveness over him in wuthering heights. a gem plucked out of a world of mere mortals.

Comments: Great website and specially super pictures of the great man. I was lucky enough to meet him on the set of Granada Television's 'King Lear' in 1983. Sadly, by then his memory was going though he autographed a couple of books and some photographs for me. His film of Richard III has to be the best ever made and his stage performance as Othello was quite incredible.Keep up the good work in preserving this remarkable man for posterity.Keith

Comments: Wow! I am a relatively "new" fan of the stunningly beautiful, Sir Laurence Olivier. I first saw him as "Niccodemus" in Jesus of Nazareth, but I didnt really know who he was until my cousin showed me the light! I watched Rebecca and fell in LOVE! A few weeks later I saw Wuthering Heights and wept! (who couldnt?) Anyways, just wanted to say, this is an AWSOME sight, and there should definately be more tribute to Sir Laurence on the web!

Comments: I was first introduced to Laurence Olivier when I watched the film Rebecca. He is so swoonworthy, as well as a fabulous actor! I am so glad there is such a great website paying tribute to him.(Bye the way, I was just wondering if anyone knows if Laurence and Joan Fontaine got along or were friends while filming Rebecca? It might be a silly question, but I just like to know all the little back storys about my fave movies.)

Comments: Fabulous site. I was looking for the monologue by 'Larry", " A theme on Time " or "Theme to time", "Ode to Time" or similar topic. It was about your attitude and control of your life. He was supposed to have made the recording about the time he was knighted. hope someone can help me find it.

I really love Laurence Olivier and I think he is of those actors who never dies... What a presence and a voice he had !!! He was a so powerful Heathcliff, and the best Hamlet I've ever seen ....

Comments: Great site. I must commend you on your info in the "biography" section. I had a revelation from the one tidbit about laurence turning down the role of Humbert Humbert in Vladimir Nabakov's novel, Lolita. Excellent book- it remains my favourite novel. Maybe I am obsessed with that book, but now it's clear as to why I've read it 12 times: Laurence was supposed to be cast as Humbert in the 1962 version. wow.
And yes, I am a true Laurence fan (and active bidder on ebay for laurence photos) complete with a research paper on him. If you care to discuss the greatness that is Laurence Olivier, feel free to send me an IM on AIM (my screen name is ZsaZsaGlamour) or send an e-mail.
