	Peter (Alexander) Ustinov Biography \| Dictionary of Literary Biography
		Peter Ustinov was born in London soon after his parents, Iona and Nadia Benois Ustinov, arrived in England, and his ancestry was cosmopolitan.
		Ustinov was educated at Westminster School (1934-1937) and trained as an actor at the London Theatre Studio (1937-1939), from which he quickly emerged to score a youthful comic success at the Players' Club with an impersonation of a female German lieder singer.
		Although Ustinov's output for the theater has declined in both quantity and quality, his dramatic career still appears remarkable when one assesses it as only part of a theatrical life which continues to encompass acting and directing for both film and television as well as the stage.
