Great Actors Who Didn't Play Beckett

 'Tis pity there wasn't such a cast:

 Laurence Olivier ..... Hamm
 Anthony Perkins ..... Clov
 Marlon Brando .... Pozzo
 Peter O"Toole .... Lucky
 Rod Steiger ..... Vladimir
 Eli Wallach ..... Estragon
 Liz Taylor ..... Winnie

What I meant was in the mid-1950s and early-1960s when Beckett established himself as a major dramatist and when the cast I suggested were in the meridian. Olivier when he played Archie Rice in John Osborne's THE ENTERTAINER, Brando in the days of the films THE YOUNG LIONS and ONE-EYED JACKS, even in 1972 when he played Don Vito Corleone in THE GODFATHER, Liz Taylor in the days of BUTTERFIELD 8 and Martha in WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? and for both roles she earned Oscars, when Eli Wallach played in Elia-Kazan-directed 10 c.'s BABY DOLL, in the days when Anthony Perkins played that cult role in Hitchcock's PSYCHO, and when Peter O'Toole was fresh from LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, and last but by no means least, in the days when Rod Steiger earned his Oscar for his role in IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT. Now, does my casting suffer from low taste?
