Laurence Harvey was born October 1, 1928 in Joniskis, Lithuania. His real name was Laruschka Mischa Skikne, which he changed when his parents emigrated to South Africa to escape persecution for their Jewish faith, when he was five years old. At 15, he debuted on stage with the Johannesburg Repertory Theater, but later he joined the army and served until the end of WWII. He went to England after the war and enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, staying there three months before joining a Manchester repertory company where he soon began to play leads. He was married three times first to Margaret Leighton in 1957, then to Joan Cohn in 1968 and then to Pauline Stone in 1972. They had one daughter named Domino. After his breakthrough film Room at the Top in 1959, Hollywood again took interest in Harvey, and in 1960 he co-starred with John Wayne in The Alamo, followed by an appearance in the Elizabeth Taylor hit Butterfield 8. A role in the 1961 British production The Long and the Short and the Tall was next, trailed by a pair of Hollywood flops, Two Lovers and Summer and Smoke. Finally, in John Frankenheimer's masterful The Manchurian Candidate, he found a role perfectly suited to his talents, portraying a brainwashed assassin shorn of emotion; the performance was the best of his career, but in a cruel twist of irony the film was pulled from distribution by producer star Frank Sinatra when its plot too closely foreshadowed the tragic death of President John F. Kennedy. He worked steadily until his death from stomach cancer at his home in Hampstead, London, in 1973. The sad story of Laurence Harvey's final years is told in Pauline Stone's book 'One Tear is Enough'. This was published in Great Britain in 1975 by Michael Joseph Ltd., but is now unfortunately out of print., However, if you click on the link above you should be able to purchase it used from Amazon.com.
