...Olivier's life and career. He was the son of a fifth-generation Anglican clergyman, yet he found his soul upon the wicked stage. The foremost classical actor of his time, he attained his first eminence as a West End matinee idol, and his second as a Hollywood dreamboat in Wuthering Heights (1939) and Rebecca (1940).

How he deals with this unusual request is the problem of Little Shop...
