Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Anthony Hopkins were his students. This episode of Spotlight is dedicated to the Swedish legendary drama teacher and dancer Yat Malmgren. Yat Malmgren started as a dancer and performed in Germany, France, England, USA and South America. In England he worked together with Christopher Fettes and John Blatchley at The Drama Centre from the start in the early sixties. Many famous actors have been students at the school: Frances de la Tour, Anastasia Hille, Simon Callow, Geraldine James, Helen McCrory, Michael Fassbender, Tom Hardy, to name a few. Kerstin Berggren interviewed Yat Malmgren at The Drama Centre in London in 2000 for The Swedish Radio. Yat Malmgren who was born in Sweden in 1916, died 2002 at the age of 86 .

Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth och Anthony Hopkins var hans elever. Yat Malmgren från Gävle skulle ha fyllt 100 år i år. Legendarisk i London men nästan okänd i Sverige. De båda James Bond - Sean Connery och Pierce Brosnan satte stort värde på Yat Malmgrens metod. Connery sa nej till ett filmkontrakt i Hollywood för att kunna fortsätta sin undervisning hos Yat och Pierce Brosnan är Yat evigt tacksam: -  Yat var den bästa lärare jag haft och tiden på Drama Centre gav mig en enorm arbetsdisciplin, säger Pierce Brosnan i Spotlight. Yat Malmgren började som dansare och uppträdde i England, USA och Sydamerika. I England träffade han Rudolf Laban och fick möjlighet att uttolka Labans rörelseteorier. Det blev grunden för Yats utbildning av skådespelare. Yat Malmgren avled 2002, 86 år gammal men hans pedagogik lever vidare på scenskolan i Göteborg där man i 50 år använt sig av Yat Malmgrens metoder i utbildningen. Staffan Göthe, Gunilla Nyroos och Göran Stangertz är några av eleverna som tagit med sig lärdomarna i skådespeleriet. Spotlights julspecial baseras på två radioprogram som Kerstin Berggren gjorde år 2000.

Yat Malmgren har blivit legendarisk inom den engelska teatervärlden. Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Colin Firth och Pierce Brosnan är några av den långa rad skådespelare som hade honom som lärare. Till eleverna hörde också  en hel generation svenska skådespelare i Göteborg. Yat Malmgren hette egentligen Gert Malmgren. Han föddes i Gävle 1916 och blev tidigt fascinerad av teatern och började som skådespelare. Så småningom  inledde  han  en framgångsrik danskarriär utomlands och blev guldmedaljör i dans 1939 i Bryssel. I början av 60-talet startade han  Drama Centre i London.Kerstin Berggren träffade Yat Malmgren i London när han var 84 år och strax därefter blev han hedersdoktor vid Göteborgs universitet. Två år senare dog han. Alldeles nyligen har hans kollega och samarbetspartner Christoffer Fettes kommit ut med boken: A Peopled Labyrinth, som sammanfattar Yat Malmgrens teaterpedagogiska teorier.   

Esther Freud’s own childhood was an unusual one - as the daughter of painter Lucian Freud and the great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud, this may not be surprising. Her first novel, Hideous Kinky, draws on her childhood memories of living in Morocco with her sister and their bohemian mother; her newest book, Mr Mac and Me, is the story of a young boy finding an unlikely friend in Scottish architect and artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh. With meticulous skill and a sharp eye for the big moments we only recognise in hindsight, Freud gets her young narrators, as they puzzle out the messiness of family, relationships, and growing up. Our childhood is our past, and Freud shows how delving into it can bring a searching light to the question of how we end up the people we are. Esther Freud was born in London and trained as an actress at the Drama Centre. Her first novel, Hideous Kinky about two children accompanying their mother in 1960s Morocco, was shortlisted for the Mail on Sunday/John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and later made into a film starring Kate Winslet. She is the author of seven other novels and her most recent book is Mr Mac and Me.

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the actor Colin Firth. He created an iconic moment in British television history when, as Jane Austen's hero Mr Darcy, he emerged wet-shirted from his stately lake. To his surprise, he became a sex symbol, was dubbed the 'male Ursula Andress' and was voted Britain's Most Popular Actor in a BBC poll. He went on to send up the role on the big screen - as the ironically-named Mark Darcy, the brooding boyfriend of Bridget Jones.He always knew he wanted to act - from the moment when, as a five year old boy, he took on the role of Jack Frost at a school panto. He studied at the Drama Centre in London's Chalk Farm - where one of his teachers, Christopher Fettes, said he was by nature a poet and compared his acting to that of Paul Schofield. Married to an Italian woman and with two young sons, he now divides his time between life in London and in Italy.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Opening of the Kyrie from Mass in C Minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Book: Stories by Woody Allen Luxury: His guitar

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is one of Britain's best known actresses - Geraldine James. Geraldine James became a household name 20 years ago for her performance as Sarah Layton in the epic, lavish series The Jewel in the Crown. But she is also used to far more earthy roles - one of her first television performances was portraying the real-life story of a deaf/mute prostitute from Bradford for which she won a TV Critics' award. The TV role she took after Jewel in the Crown was as the redoubtable and beefy Lady Maud in Blott on the Landscape and, later, more northern prostitutes in Band of Gold. She is a well respected stage actress - key roles include Portia in the Merchant of Venice opposite Dustin Hoffman and When I Was a Girl I Used to Scream and Shout. Her most recent screen work was as the prim and disapproving Women's Institute leader in the hugely successful film Calendar Girls. After school she studied drama at the Drama Centre, London, and spent three years in repertory theatre and school theatre before embarking on her television career; most recently as Lady Rowley in Trollope's He Knew He was Right. She was made an OBE in 2003.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: In Tears of Grief, Dear Lord We Leave Thee by Johann Sebastian Bach Book: The Fatal Shore by Robert Hughes Luxury: iPod
