Sir John Gielgud completes the holy trinity of British theatrical knights alongside Olivier and Richardson—though at 96, he's the last one still drawing breath. With a career spanning eight decades and theatrical royalty literally in his bloodline, he's collected every award worth having and outlived most of his contemporaries. At this point, he's less a man and more a national monument that occasionally gives interviews.
