On August 11, 1962 - Laurence Olivier founded the National Theater in London.

"Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism, not quite the occupation of an adult." So said Laurence Olivier, whose mastery of such an occupation won him many adult awards and accolades.

" What I've been saying I was only playing to described to you a measure of my gratitude and my pride at this moment. "

In 1962, Olivier founded the National Theater and helped establish its later residence on the South Bank in London. The National Theater is a fitting legacy for the man who offered definitive interpretations of Henry V, Hamlet and Richard III. Following his much publicized, often tortured marriage to actress Vivien Leigh, Sir Laurence fathered four children with the actress Joan Plowright and went on acting.
