Albert Finney, English actor, in London pub

Mar. 22 Salford's Abbie Knows Where He's Going. Albert Finney's Future Is Going To Be home where He Wants It: If you should happen to drop into a pub behind London's Cambridge Theatre around lunchtime you will see a young man with rather specialised good looks. He will be dressed with inconspicuous ordinariness, working class rather than West End, artisan more than teenage Teddy style. yet this clean-shaven man who wags a finger as he talks over a pint, and heaps on the mustard to his beef sandwich, is the new Age Olivier, the man who turns down film offers of hundreds of thousands of pounds rather than forego his freedoms of choice and route to where he is going. He is Albert Finney, the star of Billy Liar turned down offers to play Lawrence of Arabia in a film and refuses to sign away his future to anyone. And for a bookie's son from Lancashire's cotton town of Salford this is good going. Two men in a Pub: not a very remarkable scene but the younger man has already said No to a film offer of 50, 000. He's Albert Finney
