Description

Peter Nigel Terry (15 August 1945 – 30 April 2015) was an English stage and film actor. The collection comprises mostly diaries, annotated scripts and cuttings related to his career.

Note

Nigel Terry was a member of the Morrab Library from 1985 to his death and lived locally. He was probably best known for his portrayal of King Arthur in John Boorman's film Excalibur (1981). Terry primarily dedicated himself to the classical stage. He starred in many plays, television dramas and films. He left his library to the Morrab to be kept or sold. Several beautifully illustrated volumes were kept, including the Works of Shakespeare. He worked with Derek Jarman and appeared in many of his films, including Blue and Caravaggio.
