Adrian Wootton Talks Hollywood Legends:
DAVID NIVEN – Blighty's Hollywood star
The urbane and witty David Niven (1910–1983) was one of the few Brits to become a genuine Hollywood movie star of the Golden Age and be welcomed and befriended by the likes of Errol Flynn, Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. His Best Actor Oscar-winning turn in Separate Tables and performances in the likes of Wuthering Heights and Matter of Life and Death reveal a star quality and passionate performer of real depth. Penning two acclaimed autobiographies later in life, Niven also proved a great chronicler of old Hollywood.
With multiple clips and slides, Wootton tells the story of a charming and unassuming but rather brilliant actor who was a significant figure in British and American movie history.
