New York: Simon & Schuster. November, 1986. Hardcover. Good/Good. Having already told the story of his personal life in Confessions of an Act or , Olivier now reminisces about the business of acting for actors by anal yzing his search to create a reality in each role that he played. His major Shakespearean characterizations are emphasized, with a separate chapter de voted to each, but many other roles and productions, both on stage and on f ilm, are also described. Olivier's acute sense of timing is as evident in t hese graceful, often amusing reflections on the people he's known, and the parts he's played, as it is in his acting. Just as interesting for theater- lovers as for aspiring actors, this is the summing-up of a distinguished ca reer. (more information)

JMVintage specializes in books, magazines, and treasures related to the Duke & Duchess of Windsor. Dust jacket notes read: "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. It is not only a personal account, but one that gives the reader an extraordinary glimpse into the mind, the soul, the heart of an actor. Never afraid to take big risks, Olivier has applied his genius not only to the most sublime roles of the classical theater but also to some of the most daring and experimental parts the modern theater can provide. His unique wealth of experience, insight and wisdom on the art of acting is unmatched. 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. With great frankness and charm, Olivier discusses, analyses, replays the great roles of his illustrious career: . on Hamlet-'Pound for pound, in my opinion, the greatest play ever written. . . . I'll never play him again, of course, but by God, I wish I could:' . on Othello-'lt's a very badly designed role; for instance there are too many climaxes. . . :' . on Shylock, in The Merchant ofimke-'My performance remained contained in uprightness and civility until Jessica was stolen away, and then, with justification, went slowly demented. . . . The pound of flesh was nothing compared with the abduction From that moment onward I let the fury and rages come:' . on Richard 111-'1 had to exercise a lot before I started to know if I could take the big stuff on that voice without losing it That sort of thin voice and that particularly pedantic way of speaking-rather school-masterish, a little sanctimonious-was of course dead against the character, which made it a little more musing, therefore more hypocritical:' . on King Lear-'When you've the strength for it, you're too young; when you've the age, you're too old..the Romeo syndrome in reverse:' . on Archie Rice, in The Entertalner-"Here, everything had to be slightly out of kilter, and yet the actor inside me still had to hold the audience:' . on James Tyrone, in Long Day's Joumey Into Night-"The part is one of the richest ever written: very long, but nearly perfect. The repetition's a challenge, a delicious problem to overcome-but then, enjoy challenges:' There is no aspect of acting which does not engage Olivier's enthusiastic attention: . On the problems of vocal interpretation: "I felt that Othello spoke quite differently from any other character in Shakespeare: he speaks like a foreigner who's learned the language too carefully:' . On exercise: "Essential when you're working in front of an audience in the evening. . . . As Hamlet you must be at top energy level for four hours or more, then complete the evening with a sword fight. . . :' . On the younger generation of actors: "Acting styles change about every fifteen years, and they are invariably linked with social and political change:' . On the various media he has mastered over the years: "Film is the director's medium, television the writer's, but theater is the actor's. . . . There is nothing the director or author can do once the house lights dim and the curtain goes up:' Nobody has ever written better on the loneliest and the , most dazzling of the arts. Iconoclastic, yet a great respecter of the conventions, a man who could play Lear in his own old age with as much energy and force as he brought to Hamlet in his youth, Olivier is the most articulate, perceptive and analytic of actors. He IS that rarity, a great artist who has not only excelled in his craft, but who can write about it with lucid clarity, and with the style, grace, erudition, gift for anecdote and passion for the truth that are unmistakably the authentic voice of Laurence Olivier.
