Sir Dirk Bogarde (1921–99), Inglise näitleja. Filme: „Õnnetusjuhtum”, „Jumalate hukk”, „Surm Venezias”. Üks tema mitmest eluloo raamatust.

In 1970 Dirk Bogarde retired from acting and turned towards a quieter, more contemplative, more settled way of life. He both dreaded and yearned for a change from the preceding 20 years of "continual motion."

Bogarde sought "a place of my own" and found it in a dilapidated farmhouse in the south of France.
