罗伯特·斯蒂芬斯 (1931) Robert Stephens
演员 制片人
Sir Robert's career fell into two distinct parts. In the
'60s, he was
widely regarded as the heir of Laurence Olivier.
But, after his departure from Britain's National Theatre in 1970 and
the breakup of his marriage with
Maggie Smith three years later, he
suffered a slump made worse by heavy drinking. In the '90s, the Royal
Shakespeare Company invited him to play first Falstaff in "Henry IV"
and then Lear in "King Lear", and this re-established Stephens's
career. He was knighted early in 1995.
