Peter Ustinov, 1986
Sir Peter Ustinov in my opinion was first and foremost a great raconteur. He had a way with story-telling which I could listen to all day. I used to look forward to his guesting in tv talk shows because it would mean it would be funny, informative and intelligent.
He was an English actor, director and a dramatist.
