About This Item
Times Books, 1981. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. 1981 FIRST EDITION hardcover with dustjacket. UNREAD COPY. Bright, unmarked pages and firm binding. Jacket shows minor shelf rubbing and minor edge wear only. This is NOT an ex-library book, not a remainder, and not corner-clipped (retains the original 1981 cover price on the front jacket flap). A very good, sturdy First Edition copy! "This explosive, revealing biography looks at the life of the man who in his time has played many parts, in his life as well as on stage. Thomas Kiernan, in tracing Olivier's long career, delineates the triumphs and the tragedies and how each served to define his developing character.... This biography captures brilliantly the essence of Laurence Olivier, probing beneath the persona of the virtuoso classical actor and star to reveal his private motivations and his strengths and flaws as a man. It is the story of one of England's greatest actors, a man of tragedy and of comedy, and, despite himself, a legend in his own lifetime.
