Laurence Olivier, the conservative cuckold

An anonymous poster reminds us that the English actor, director and producer, Laurence Olivier, was a conservative his whole life long. In 1983, for example, he wrote to congratulate Margaret Thatcher following her victory in that year's General Election. He declined the offer of a peerage from Harold Wilson's Labour government in 1967, despite Wilson's insistence that it was not a political honour, but later accepted a peerage from Edward Heath's Conservative government in the Queen's Birthday Honours of June 1970. Despite his conservativeness he accepted that his wife,  actress Vivien Leigh, was fucking other men.  The next quote comes from imdb.com: "He discovered Peter Finch when Olivier and his theatrical company, which included his wife Vivien Leigh, were conducting a tour of Australia in 1948. Olivier signed the young Aussie to a personal contract and Finch became part of Olivier's theatrical company, traveling back to London with his new employer, where he made his name as an actor. Finch then proceeded to cuckold his mentor and employer by bedding Olivier's wife, Leigh. Olivier was personally humiliated but, ever the trouper, he kept the talented Finch under contract; Finch, who had been born in London, flourished as a theatrical actor after the career break given him by Olivier. Finch and Leigh carried on a long affair, and since Leigh was bipolar and her manic-depression frequently manifested itself in nymphomania, some speculate that Olivier subconsciously might have been grateful for Finch's attentions to his wife, as he occupied Leigh's hours and kept her out of worse trouble and, by extension, saved Olivier from even worse embarrassment."
Pretty powerful stuff for that era and it earns Sir Olivier 8 on the cuckold scale.
