With <a href="/wiki/Ralph_Richardson" title="Ralph Richardson">Ralph Richardson</a> and <a href="/wiki/Laurence_Olivier" title="Laurence Olivier">Laurence Olivier</a>, he was one of the trinity of actors who dominated the British stage for much of the 20th century. A member of the <a href="/wiki/Terry_family" title="Terry family">Terry family</a> theatrical dynasty, he gained his first paid acting work as a junior member of his cousin <a href="/wiki/Phyllis_Neilson-Terry" title="Phyllis Neilson-Terry">Phyllis Neilson-Terry</a>'s company in 1922. After studying at the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Academy_of_Dramatic_Art" title="Royal Academy of Dramatic Art">Royal Academy of Dramatic Art</a> (RADA), he worked in <a href="/wiki/Repertory_theatre" title="Repertory theatre">repertory theatre</a> and in the <a href="/wiki/West_End_theatre" title="West End theatre">West End</a> before establishing himself at the <a href="/wiki/Old_Vic" class="mw-redirect" title="Old Vic">Old Vic</a> as an exponent of <a href="/wiki/Shakespeare" class="mw-redirect" title="Shakespeare">Shakespeare</a> in 1929–31. During the 1930s Gielgud was a stage star in the West End and on <a href="/wiki/Broadway_theatre" title="Broadway theatre">Broadway</a>, appearing in new works and classics. He began a parallel career as a director, and set up his own company at the <a href="/wiki/Sondheim_Theatre" title="Sondheim Theatre">Queen's Theatre</a>, London. He was regarded by many as the finest <a href="/wiki/Prince_Hamlet" title="Prince Hamlet">Hamlet</a> of his era, and was also known for high comedy roles such as John Worthing in <a href="/wiki/The_Importance_of_Being_Earnest" title="The Importance of Being Earnest">The Importance of Being Earnest</a>. In the 1950s Gielgud feared that his career was threatened when he was convicted and fined for a homosexual offence, but his colleagues and the public supported him loyally. When <a href="/wiki/Experimental_theatre" title="Experimental theatre">avant-garde</a> plays began to supersede traditional West End productions in the later 1950s he found no new suitable stage roles, and for several years he was best known in the theatre for his one-man Shakespeare show <a href="/wiki/The_Ages_of_Man_(play)" title="The Ages of Man (play)">The Ages of Man</a>. From the late 1960s he found new plays that suited him, by authors including <a href="/wiki/Alan_Bennett" title="Alan Bennett">Alan Bennett</a>, <a href="/wiki/David_Storey" title="David Storey">David Storey</a> and <a href="/wiki/Harold_Pinter" title="Harold Pinter">Harold Pinter</a>. During the first half of his career Gielgud did not take the cinema seriously. Though he made his first film in 1924, and had successes with <a href="/wiki/The_Good_Companions_(1933_film)" title="The Good Companions (1933 film)">The Good Companions</a> (1933) and <a href="/wiki/Julius_Caesar_(1953_film)" class="mw-redirect" title="Julius Caesar (1953 film)">Julius Caesar</a> (1953), he did not begin a regular film career until his sixties. He appeared in more than sixty films between <a href="/wiki/Becket_(1964_film)" title="Becket (1964 film)">Becket</a> (1964), for which he received his first <a href="/wiki/Academy_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Academy Award">Academy Award</a> nomination for playing <a href="/wiki/Louis_VII_of_France" title="Louis VII of France">Louis VII of France</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_(film)" title="Elizabeth (film)">Elizabeth</a> (1998). As the acid-tongued Hobson in <a href="/wiki/Arthur_(1981_film)" title="Arthur (1981 film)">Arthur</a> (1981) he won the <a href="/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Supporting_Actor" title="Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor">Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor</a>. His film work further earned him a <a href="/wiki/Golden_Globe_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Golden Globe Award">Golden Globe Award</a> and two <a href="/wiki/BAFTAs" class="mw-redirect" title="BAFTAs">BAFTAs</a>. Although largely indifferent to awards, Gielgud had the rare distinction of winning an <a href="/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_won_Academy,_Emmy,_Grammy,_and_Tony_Awards" class="mw-redirect" title="List of people who have won Academy, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards">Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Tony</a>. He was famous from the start of his career for his voice and his mastery of Shakespearean verse. He broadcast more than a hundred radio and television dramas between 1929 and 1994, and made commercial recordings of many plays, including ten of Shakespeare's and three recordings from his own "Ages of Man". Among his honours, he was <a href="/wiki/Knight_Bachelor" title="Knight Bachelor">knighted</a> in 1953 and the <a href="/wiki/Gielgud_Theatre" title="Gielgud Theatre">Gielgud Theatre</a> was named after him in 1994.

Its failure, so soon after his Shakespearean triumphs, prompted Gielgud to examine his career and his life. His domestic relationship with Perry was comfortable but unexciting, he saw no future in a film career, and the Old Vic could not afford to stage the classics on the large scale to which he aspired. He decided that he must form his own company to play Shakespeare and other classic plays in the West End.<a href="#cite_note-113">[101]</a> Gielgud invested £5,000, most of his earnings from the American Hamlet; Perry, who had family money, put in the same sum.<a href="#cite_note-m152-114">[102]</a> From September 1937 to April 1938 Gielgud was the tenant of the Queen's Theatre, where he presented a season consisting of Richard II, <a href="/wiki/The_School_for_Scandal" title="The School for Scandal">The School for Scandal</a>, Three Sisters, and The Merchant of Venice.<a href="#cite_note-m152-114">[102]</a> His company included <a href="/wiki/Harry_Andrews" title="Harry Andrews">Harry Andrews</a>, Peggy Ashcroft, <a href="/wiki/Glen_Byam_Shaw" title="Glen Byam Shaw">Glen Byam Shaw</a>, George Devine, <a href="/wiki/Michael_Redgrave" title="Michael Redgrave">Michael Redgrave</a> and Harcourt Williams, with <a href="/wiki/Angela_Baddeley" title="Angela Baddeley">Angela Baddeley</a> and Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies as guests. His own roles were King Richard, Joseph Surface, Vershinin and Shylock.<a href="#cite_note-roles-32">[29]</a> Gielgud's performances drew superlatives from reviewers and colleagues. Agate considered his Richard II, "probably the best piece of Shakespearean acting on the English stage today".<a href="#cite_note-115">[103]</a> Olivier said that Gielgud's Joseph Surface was "the best light comedy performance I've ever seen, or ever shall see".<a href="#cite_note-116">[104]</a> The venture did not make much money,<a href="#cite_note-117">[105]</a> and in July 1938 Gielgud turned to more conventional West End enterprises, in unconventional circumstances.

Gielgud is the lone survivor of those great actors whose careers laid the foundation stones of modern theatre. He is acclaimed as the greatest speaker of Shakespearean verse this century. People my age and younger can only take on trust the impact of the Hamlet whose influence lasted more than 30 years. Even the recordings do not quite convey the mellifluous magic of the voice once described by Guinness as a "silver trumpet muffled in silk". He is indelibly linked with the roles of Prospero and King Lear – regarded as pinnacles of theatrical achievement – yet he is also widely remembered for his wonderful comic touch as Jack Worthing in Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. But his influence goes far beyond his performances.
