Three-time Tony Award winner Frank Langella is writing a memoir, Dropped Names, which will be released next year by Harper Collins, according to The New York Times.


The book will include stories of his close-and-personal encounters with Elizabeth Taylor, Laurence Olivier, William Styron, Marilyn Monroe, Arthur Miller, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, among others.


Langella will return to Broadway later this year in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of Terrence Rattigan’s Man and Boy.


He received Tony Awards for his work in Seascape, Fortune’s Fool, and Frost/Nixon, and received an Oscar nomination for his work in the film version of the latter play. He also starred on Broadway in Dracula, as well as the film version, and A Man for All Seasons, among many other works.
