Ralph Richardson was a contradictory genius who remains a legendary power and presence dominated stage and screen for over 50 years. Richardson eschewed most of the romantic heroes that made his two friends, Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud, famous; he was the only one of the three thought capable of playing the ordinary man.
