The Laurence Olivier Award for Supporting Artist of the Year was a one-off award presented by the Society of London Theatre in recognition of the "world-class status of London theatre."[1][2] The awards were established as the Society of West End Theatre Awards in 1976, and named in 1984 in honour of English actor and director Laurence Olivier.
This commingled actor/actress award, only ever presented at the 1976 inaugural awards, was presented to an actress.
