In 1988 he starred in the dual role of mad twin physicians in David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers. Lawford died in Los Angeles in 1984 of liver and kidney disease. In 1984 Irons won a Tony Award for his Broadway performance opposite Glenn Close in The Real Thing. He also had a recurring role on The Doris Day Show. Also in 1981, he starred in the film The French Lieutenant's Woman. Lawford was reduced to doing television guest shots on such shows as Fantasy Island, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Profiles In Courage, The Wild Wild West, I Spy, The Name Of The Game, The Jeffersons, The Virginian and Hawaii Five O. Brideshead brought him back together with Anthony Andrews, with whom he had appeared in The Pallisers seven years earlier. Such abuse, plus strained relationships with others, and financial difficulties caused a great deal of strain on his already fragile health.

The role which shot him to fame was that of Charles Ryder in the television adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited in 1981. Later in life, Lawford had fallen into drug and alcohol abuse. After several appearances on British television, his film debut came in 1980 in Nijinsky. Sinatra's feelings were such that once when he learned that Peter Lawford was in the audience he was about to perform in front of that he refused to come out until Lawford and his wife were removed from the audience. Born in Cowes, Isle of Wight, he began his acting career in Bristol, then appeared on the London as John the Baptist opposite David Essex in Godspell. The two were later reconciled, but Sinatra later permanently broke off the friendship. Jeremy Irons (born September 19, 1948) is a British actor.
