Albert Finney

He was born in Salford, Manchester, England, United Kingdom.

His first film was The Entertainer (1960), but his real breakthrough came with his portrayal of a disillusioned factory worker in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning[?]. This led to a series of "angry young man" roles in kitchen sink dramas[?], most notably 1963's Tom Jones[?] (for which he turned down the role of T. E. Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia).

His television roles include the lead in Dennis Potter's final two plays: Karaoke and Cold Lazarus. In the latter he played a frozen, disembodied head.

From 1970 to 1978, he was married to the French actor Anouk Aimée.
