Sir Alan Arthur Bates was a British actor. Born in Derbyshire, Bates earned a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, where he studied before leaving to join the Royal Air Force. In 1956, he debuted on stage in the West End, starring in Look Back in Anger, a role which made him a star. Four years later, he appeared in The Entertainer, his first film role. He soon starred in Whistle Down the Wind & in the Bernard Malamud film The Fixer, which gave him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. He was married to the actress, Victoria Ward, from 1970 until her death in 1992 ; they had two sons. Bates starred in such international hit films as Georgy Girl, Far From the Madding Crowd, Zorba the Greek, An Unmarried Woman & Women in Love, but he consciously decided to concentrate on a few well-defined roles, rather than to take everything that came his way. On television, his parts ranged from classic roles such as The Mayor of Casterbridge to Guy Burgess in An Englishman Abroad to the storyteller in the 2000 version of the Arabian Nights.

Laurence Kerr Olivier, Baron Olivier, OM was an English actor & director, esteemed by many as the greatest actor of the 20th century. Laurence Olivier was born in Dorking, Surrey. He attended the Central School of Speech Training & Dramatic Art. It was his father, a clergyman, who decided that Laurence - or Kim as the family called him - would become an actor. His stage breakthrough was in Noel Coward s Private Lives & in Romeo & Juliet alternating the roles of Romeo & Mercutio with John Gielgud. His film breakthrough was his portrayal of Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights in 1939. He was founding director of the National Theatre of Great Britain. On July 25, 1930, he married Jill Esmond, whom Olivier biographer Donald Spoto described as a diffident lesbian. They had one son, Tarquin & were divorced on January 29, 1940. By 1938, he had embarked on a torrid affair with Vivien Leigh, who was also married. Finally divorced by their respective spouses, they married on August 31, 1940 at San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, with Katharine Hepburn as the maid of honour. Posters Of Laurence Olivier
