Actor
Paul Scofield
Won an Oscar for A Man for All Seasons and then largely avoided film, turning down a knighthood twice and preferring the stage.
David Paul Scofield was an English actor. During a six-decade career, Scofield achieved the Triple Crown of Acting, winning an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Tony Award for his work. Completing the feat in just seven years, no actor has achieved the Triple Crown faster than Scofield. He is celebrated for his reputation as one of the greatest Shakespearean performers. He declined the honour of a knighthood on three separate occasions, but was appointed CBE in 1956 and became a CH in 2001.
