In Memoriam

Christopher Plummer (December 13, 1929 - February 5, 2021)

One of my favorite actors of all time is no longer with us.

Winner of an Academy Award (out of three nominations), a Golden Globe, two Emmys, a BAFTA, a Screen Actors Guild, and two Tonys, he had over 200 titles to his credit.

He became, at 82, the oldest winner of a competitive acting Oscar, for Beginners, surpassing the record set by Jessica Tandy, and at 88 he became the oldest acting Oscar nominee ever, for All the Money in the World.

I last saw him in Knives Out and The Last Full Measure, both out in 2019 and his final performances.

A huge loss. R.I.P.
