"The Written Word"

After training as an actor at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Ronnie then joined the Shakespeare Company of Sir Donald Wolfit, one of the last 'actor-managers' in Britain. From 1953 to 1958, Ronnie became the personal dresser of Sir Donald. He would later draw from this experience to write 'The Dresser'.

Ronnie has written the screenplay for almost 30 films, including Operation Daybreak (1975), The Browning Version (1994) with Albert Finney, The Statement (2002) with Michael Caine, Being Julia (2004) with Annette Bening and Jeremy Irons, Roman Polanski's The Pianist (2002) for which he won the Oscar and Polanski’s version of Oliver Twist (2005) with Sir Ben Kingsley.

He won an Academy Award for the script of The Pianist, having already been nominated for The Dresser in 1983. Ronnie received his third Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2007 for his adaptation of the memoir by Jean-Dominique Bauby, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, for which he also won a BAFTA.
