Noel Willman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Noel Willman (August 4, 1918 in Derry, Ireland - December 14, 1988 in New York) was a British actor and theatre director.
His films included The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), Across the Bridge (1957), Carve Her Name with Pride (1958), The Kiss of the Vampire (1963), Dr. Zhivago (1965) and The Reptile (1966).
He was also a theatre director and actor, and won a Tony Award in 1962 for his direction of the original Broadway production of Robert Bolt's A Man For All Seasons. He was also nominated in 1966 for the same category, for his work on James Goldman's The Lion in Winter. He frequently collaborated with Bolt, also directing on The Tiger and the Horse and Gentle Jack (and appearing in Zhivago, which Bolt scripted). One of his most famous theatrical roles was opposite Alec Guinness in the stage production of Bridget Boland's The Prisoner, later made into a film with Guinness and Jack Hawkins.
