RIP Christopher Plummer
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
How good of an actor was Christopher Plummer, even the Russians respected him. His portrayal of Leo Tolstoy met with their approval, no small feet since relations with the USA were icy after Putin invaded Georgia. He won an Oscar the following year for Beginners.
Amazing actor but two independent friends who served him described him as a "mean drunk". He was It apoeared, a classist type.
The Sound of Music would not have been the classic it became without Plummer. The film needed a strong father figure for it to be convincing but yes his singing voice was dubbed.
Plummer did like to drink but there are no stories that he was a mean drunk. His lifelong friend The Great Shat would have told us by now if he was.

As a tribute, I streamed The Return of the Pink Panther and I noticed something.
I can't verify this but it looks to me like Daniel Craig channeled Plummer's Charles (The Phantom) Litton for his version of 007. David Niven played him as an elegant dandy in the original film, Plummer was much more rugged.
Peter Sellers is the classic case of Aspergers, Plummer said he played himself in Being There.

His wife said cause of death was blow to head after a fall, wonder if it was after a drunken stupor.
Remember they are actors. They are professional liars. Must be really frustrating being in their social circle.
