In 1935, he gained attention for his role as Romeo and Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet, alternating with J. Gielgud at the New Theatre.

In 1955, he gave a remarkable revival of Titus Andronicus at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre (now the Royal Shakespeare Theatre), and gave excellent performances in Peer Gynt (45), Oedipus Rex (45), Sheridan's The School for Badmouthing (48), and C.

He served as director of the Chichester Festival from 1962 to 1965, and in 1962 he became director of the National Theatre when it was founded, directing its first production, Hamlet (63), and in 1964 he played Othello for the first time, which caused a great sensation. He also appeared in many films, but he is particularly known for Shakespeare's Hamlet (which he produced and starred in, winning the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Actor in 1948), Henry V, Richard III, and Othello. His second wife was V. Lee. He was knighted in 1947, and in 1970 he became the first actor to be granted a life peerage, becoming Baron Brighton, and in 1981 he was made an honorary knight. Olivier |
