Description: Laurence Olivier. ON ACTING. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1986. First Edition, with full number line. Well illustrated with photographs. 8½″ x 5¾″, 397-page hardcover in spotless and immaculate As New condition, likely unread, in As New, price-clipped dj, conserved in a clear, archival quality Brodart cover. This final book by Sir Laurence, published only three years before his death in 1989, is equal parts memoir and acting instruction. It provides a unique look into the acting profession on stage and screen by one who is considered among the greatest actors of the 20th century. With frankness and charm, Olivier discusses, analyzes and replays the great roles of his career -- a mere listing of which occupies nearly 10 pages before the Index. Laid in with this volume is a rare original 1948 program (4-page, half-fold) for the motion picture Hamlet, directed by and starring Laurence Olivier. The movie won 4 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor in a Leading Role for Olivier.
