Olivier recounts his upbringing, his creative passions, the triumphs and strains of his storied career, and his complex relationships, including his turbulent marriage to Vivien Leigh. With trademark wit, humility, and insight, Olivier doesn’t just chronicle his performances—he reveals the soul of a man navigating the price of greatness.
