Topics: H : Harvey, Laurence

Laurence Harvey (1928-1973) was a handsome leading man who helped dominate 1960s films about modern society and its disaffected citizens, characters that perfectly utilized the emotional aloofness he projected so well. After serving in World War 2, he enrolled in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and was soon acting in such films as 'House of Darkness' (1949), 'Romeo and Juliet' (1954), and 'I Am a Camera' (1955).
