Book desription: New York: Simon & Schuster. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1986. Hard Cover. 0671558692 . 399 pages, very well illustrated, cloth, dj, very good. From the dj: here is the greatest actor of our age, talking knowingly, intimately, brilliantly about his profession. On Acting is one of those rare books in which a complete master of his craft explains in captivating detail - and shows us through his own career- what makes a great actor… Olivier describes his own training; his early years in the theater; his youthful success as a romantic leading man; his first brush with the movies; his growing strength and originality as an actor, able to take on both Heathcliff (and Hollywood stardom) in Selznick's movie of Wuthering Heights, and, soon afterward, Henry V, in his own immortal motion-picture classic. He writes in depth about his years at the Old Vic and later at the National Theatre, where time and time again he made theatrical history. .
