Lou Nova vents over lack of Shakespeare roles in Hollywood
Hollywood heavyweight Lou Nova, a former contender turned actor, complains Laurence Olivier blocks his Shakespearean work. He argues studios never cast him in Hamlet or Romeo, instead giving him punchy roles while he frets at his Encino garden and enjoys practicing lines for audiences along the fence. Otto Preminger once impressed by a Romeo scene urged broader parts. Nova laments missing Cyrano De Bergerac to Jose Ferrer and disputes being limited to prizefighting quips.
