ON THIS DAY: In 1907, Sir Laurence Olivier was born in Dorking, England (he died in England in 1989). Though an accomplished film director and theater manager, he is best known as an actor, considered by some to be the most influential actor of the 20th century. His best-known performance may be as the insane Dane in the 1948 film HAMLET, for which he won an Academy Award (he also directed the film). [today's movie at IMDb]
