Christopher Plummer, who was among the greatest Canadian actors ever to grace stage and screen, has died.
Plummer died Friday morning at his home in Connecticut — two and a half weeks after suffering a fall — with his wife, Elaine Taylor, by his side, said Lou Pitt, his longtime friend and manager.
“Chris was an extraordinary man who deeply loved and respected his profession with great old fashion manners, self-deprecating humour and the music of words,” Pitt said in a statement to CBC News. “He was a national treasure who deeply relished his Canadian roots. More
RIP Mr. Plummer.
His career spanned 6 or 7 decades – amazing (although Clint Eastwood is in his 8th decade of acting).
“what if your controls had been damaged, you’d be spread all over the field like strawberry jam!!!”
RIP

Jinx!
LOL @ TN Tuxedo…..Do we get to keep our man cards for remembering show tunes?….LOL
If you had to point to a movie that embodies the best ideals of Western Civ/ethno-European values Sound of Music would be a good choice. Sad. I don’t know Plummer’s politics but I do know that in the era of cancel culture the only culture that can be canceled is European and all of its satellites. Lead us out Chris… The West is doomed.
Good Byeeeeeeeeeeeee….
I liked him as the Shakespeare-quoting Klingon with the bolted-on eye patch in Star Trek VI:

I’m going to have to dust off my copy of Dr. Parnassus tonight and watch it again. That movie would have fallen apart without Plummer.
He plays well off of crazy Brad Pitt in “12 Monkeys,” and there another lesser know film “Remember” where he’s a Holocaust survivor with Alzheimer’s who escapes his care facility to locate and assassinate the Nazi camp commander who killed his wife.
I hope Plummer’s remembered for all his other work and not just “Sound of Music.”
Apparently he did not care too much for TSOM – He called it The Sound of Mucus.

…with you all day, but perhaps a more fitting epitaph is Chang saying “Our revels now have ended, Kirk” (at 0.20)…

RIP
Enjoyed his work.
Didn’t know he was Canadian, but I won’t hold that against him. Rest in peace, Mr. Plummer.
