Biography

British distinguished thespian and manager who, having brought Shakespeare to the provinces, gave both enjoyable and hammy performances in films. His 20 films include "Drake Of England," 1935, "The Ringer," 1952, "Svengali," 1954, "Room At The Top," 1959 and "Decline And Fall," 1968. It is rumored that Albert Finney's performance in the film, "The Dresser," may have been based on Wolfit.

In 1955 he wrote an autobiography entitled "First Interval." He was knighted in 1957. A biography written by Ronald Harwood, "The Knight Has Been Unruly" was released in 1970, after Wolfit's death.

Died on 2/17/1968, London, England.
