Sir Laurence Olivier - 9

Olivier in Brideshead Revisited

Links

Considering the importance of Olivier as an actor, there are remarkably few sites devoted to him. These are the ones I could find:

Sir Laurence Olivier - The Official Site
Contains his biography, filmography, some photos and some quotes. It's OK, but nothing special: there's much less detail than on most actors' fan site. The man who was probably the greatest actor of his generation deserves better than this!

Sir Laurence Olivier
This is a vast improvement on the official site, offering a reasonable biography, a list of his films, and a section entitled Memorabilia. The site is growing all the time, so it's worth going back every so often. Nice graduated grey design, too.

Elizabeth's Laurence Olivier Page
A few stills from films with captions.

Sir Laurence Olivier (Sixties)
An entry on a page devoted to film stars of the sixties. A very basic intro, concentrating on his films of the period.
