 | | But, according to author Sheridan Morley, "If, at the end of almost a century, John Gielgud is to be remembered for any single achievement, it would surely have to be the way in which he redefined and recreated the resident classical repertory company." |
 | | Morley spends an inordinate amount of time reporting Gielgud's homosexuality, as if his sexuality defined the actor. |
 | | Morley, the drama critic of the London Spectator and International Herald Tribune, has also written the biographies of such entertainers as Noel Coward, Katherine Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, David Niven, and his father Robert Morley. |
