Barry Olivier’s cause of death: What happened to Barry Olivier?
Laurence Olivier, whose versatility and daring thrilled generations of theatergoers and awed thousands of colleagues, died yesterday in his sleep at the age of 82. He had been in ill health for several years, including bouts with cancer and a kidney ailment.
During his six-decade career, Olivier became what some critics have called the greatest actor in the English-speaking world.
His greatness lay not only in his mastery of the technical arts but in his willingness to take risks. His dedication and personal charm brought dignity to the theater, and his demonstration of hard and unending work set a standard that inspired many others.
He played 121 stage roles, 58 in the movies, and 15 on television. He also directed 38 plays, six movies and six TV productions.
