The Writing King Your Ethical Ghostwriter. Your Story, Done Right.

Actor: Charles Laughton

Charles Laughton won Best Actor for The Private Life of Henry VIII and gave enormous performances in Mutiny on the Bounty, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Witness for the Prosecution.

He directed exactly one film, The Night of the Hunter, which failed commercially and is now regarded as among the finest American films ever made. Its failure discouraged him from directing again, which is a considerable loss.

He was a difficult and self-critical performer by every account, uncomfortable with his own appearance, and Spartacus gave him a late role of great relish opposite Olivier.
