Laurence Olivier
Birth: May 22, 1907
Death: Jul. 11, 1989

Actor, director, and producer, considered one of the greatest actors of all time; certainly one of the most honored, he was the youngest actor to be knighted and the first actor to be raised to the peerage. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for Hamlet in 1949, and also won an Honorary Academy Award in 1979.

Probably the greatest stage actor and interpreter of Shakespeare with John Guilgud and Ralph Richardson as runners up. Heathcliff, Hamlet, Henry V, MacHeath, Richard III, Mr. Darcy - just some of your roles. And a first rate director as well.
