In the 1930s he established himself as a wide-ranging Shakespearean actor. His marriage in 1940 to Vivien Leigh (his second wife) seemed to complete the image of the romantic star. From the mid-40s he excelled in directing himself in Shakespeare on film; such as his dramatically-shot Henry V (1944); with its timely excesses of patriotism. When the new wave of British drama began in the late 1950s; Olivier was immediately part of it. As an actor of such wide range; and a successful producer and director; Olivier was a natural choice to bring the National Theatre into existence in 1963. Together with his new wife Joan Plowright (they had married in 1961); he built up a brilliant company and repertoire at the Old Vic. Olivier became the first actor to be given a peerage.
