THE WAY TO THE STARS (1945) | dir. Anthony Asquith
Now that all of Laurence Olivier's characters have been eliminated, it's time to determine by popular vote, who is Laurence Olivier's Hottest Medieval Role?
Richard III was not submitted as an entrant in this tournament, which I'm fairly certain merits a criminal charge of some kind, so I decided to include him in this poll.
Also because Olivier's on-screen chemistry with his leading ladies was the thing that finally got me personally to get what all the hype was about I'm including a Pic of each character wooing their respective women:
Henry V and Katherine of Valois [Renee Asherson]
Hamlet and Ophelia [Jean Simmons]
Richard III and Anne Neville [Claire Bloom]
What is Laurence Olivier's Hottest Medieval Role?
Henry V
Prince Hamlet
Richard III
Los Otros / The Others (2001) dir. Alejandro Amenábar
The Others
Laurence Olivier with Renee Asherson as Princess Katherine, his bride, in Henry V (1944). Renee was born in London and had 63 acting credits in her career, from 1939 to 2001. Renee passed away in 2014 at the age of 99. Her only marriage was to Robert Donat (The 39 Steps) from 1953 until his death in 1958. She was most often seen on the telly, and also appeared in Theater of Blood with Vincent Price (1973).
