60 years ago today, Sir Ian McKellen made his acting debut on our very own stage 🤩
On September 4th 1961, I made my first entrance as a professional actor – on the stage of the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry UK. I was part of its resident company of actors. 60 years on, here I am in Windsor, one of the company at the Theatre Royal. So nothing much has changed.
