[teatimelud]

One must tip one's hat to Sir J.Gielgud if one is an authentic theatre enthusiast. One's abusive use of the personal prounoun "one" shouldn't affect one's appreciation of oneself.

As charming as he was gifted.

@sstuddert

He once said that it was hard to look at the interviewer as he "had to conjure up the answer in his minds eye".

But does it matter? No. A genius of intellect and acting talent.
