Sir Peter Ustinov
1921 – 2004
He was an artist, an Oscar-winning actor, a writer, a director, a stage designer, a storyteller and a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. But above all, he was one thing: a man who wanted to make the world a better place with creativity and joy in his heart – and who firmly believed that commitment to a good cause always pays off.
Born Peter Alexander Baron von Ustinov in London on 16 April 1921, he celebrated his stage premiere at the age of 17 with the play "The Forest Rat". After numerous theatre engagements towards the end of the 1930s, his own first play, "House of Regrets", premiered in 1942. There were further successes on stage with theatre productions such as "The Love of Four Colonels" and "Romanoff and Juliet". From the 1940s onwards, Sir Peter Ustinov also appeared regularly on the cinema screen.
He also recorded albums, amused as an entertainer and impersonator, hosted TV documentaries and wrote over 30 books, including novels, short story collections, travelogues and a cookbook.
