On O’Toole’s Retirement: A 1963 Convo with Orson Welles

So today Peter O’Toole announced his retirement from acting. To mark this milestone, I present these three short excerpts from a 1963 BBC show, Monitor.

In the show, O’Toole (who played Hamlet in a 1963 production directed by Laurence Olivier [as noted in this 2003 Guardian retrospective piece]) discusses Hamlet with “Huw Wheldon (the host) and veteran actor Ernest Milton” as well as film and theater legend Orson Welles.
