Upon leaving school, Todd trained for a potential military career at Sandhurst before beginning his acting training at the Italia Conti Academy. This change in career led to estrangement from his mother. When he learned at age 19 that she had committed suicide, he did not grieve long for her, he admitted in later life. He first appeared professionally as an actor at the Open Air Theatre, Regent's Park in 1936 in a production of ''Twelfth Night''. He played in regional theatres and then co-founded the Dundee Repertory Theatre in 1939. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Todd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
