Who is John Clark?

Ivan John Clark is an English actor, director, producer and writer. Clark is probably best known for his role as Just William in theatre and radio in the late 1940s and as the former husband of actress Lynn Redgrave, to whom he was married for 33 years. However, he established himself as a stage actor and director after moving to the United States in 1960, and became noted for his theatrical directorship of plays featuring Redgrave in the 1970s such as A Better Place at Dublin's Gate Theatre, The Two of Us, Saint Joan, and a tour of California Suite. In 1981, he co-directed the CBS television series House Calls, in which Redgrave starred in alongside Wayne Rogers.

In 1993-4 Clark produced and directed the one woman play, Shakespeare for My Father written and performed by Lynn Redgrave, which played on Broadway and then the Haymarket Theatre in London, followed by a tour of Australia and Canada.
