Dirk Bogarde

    28 de marzo de 1921 – 8 de mayo de 1999

    Dirk Bogarde fue un aclamado actor británico, reconocido por sus cautivadoras interpretaciones a mediados del siglo XX. Transicionando del escenario a la pantalla, cultivó una reputación de versatilidad, interpretando hábilmente un amplio espectro de personajes. Sus papeles a menudo profundizaban en la complejidad psicológica, desde antihéroes convincentes hasta figuras de autoridad matizadas. Más allá de la actuación, Bogarde encontró más tarde el éxito literario con sus perspicaces escritos autobiográficos y ensayos críticos.
