Sir, - Would Penelope Dening (August 29th) please check her facts on Peter Ustinov's Oscars? He was nominated for, but did not receive, a Best Supporting Actor award for his portrayal of Nero in Quo Vadis. His first Oscar came in 1960 for Spartacus, in which he appeared as a wily slave dealer.
As correctly stated by Ms Dening, a second Best Supporting Actor Oscar came in 1964 for Topkapi. - Yours, etc.,
