Backward Glances by Sir John Gielgud

The author offers many portraits of his theatrical friends and acquaintances, including Edith Evans, Charles Laughton, Ralph Richardson and Vivien Leigh, as well as recollections of his own life in and out of the theatre. He has also written "Early Stages" and "An Actor And His Time".
Sir John Gielgud spent a lifetime on the stage and in front of the camera; his first film was in 1924 when he starred as Daniel in Who Is The Man? Venerated for giving gravitas to a variety of Shakespearean roles, Gielgud made the role of respected old sage his own, and is considered by many to have been one of the greatest actors of the twentieth century. He died in May 2000.
