Christopher Plummer has passed away at 91, his family has confirmed. He passed peacefully at his home in Connecticut, with Elaine Taylor, his wife and true best friend for 53 years by his side.
Lou Pitt, his longtime friend and manager of 46 years said;
“Chris was an extraordinary man who deeply loved and respected his profession with great old fashion manners, self deprecating humor and the music of words. He was a National Treasure who deeply relished his Canadian roots. Through his art and humanity, he touched all of our hearts and his legendary life will endure for all generations to come. He will forever be with us.”
Another acting giant has passed. RIP.
RIP. Bigtime, was always great even during in bad movies. Star Trek VI was my fav I think.
Great in Waterloo as General Wellington

The wife and I just watched “The Man Who Would Be King.” He was good as Rudyard Kipling.
Post #1 disappeared. Strange
One of my favorite scenes is when Plummer first listens to the children singing.
Wow, just got his autograph last year!
Commodus in FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
Wellington in WATERLOO.
Both excellent movies.
No, I had to format it so I could reply.
How’d you format it?
That was a very atmospheric movie. Plummer also did his take on Van Helsing in Dracula 2000.
Oh no!!!

All The Money In The World - Principal photography began in March 2017 and was completed in August 2017. The role of J. Paul Getty was originally portrayed by Kevin Spacey, who also appeared in the film’s initial marketing campaign.[5] However, due to sexual misconduct allegations made against Spacey prior to the film’s scheduled release date of December 8, 2017, the role was hurriedly recast with Christopher Plummer. Twenty-two scenes were completely reshot within eight days, only one month prior to the film’s rearranged release date at Christmas.[6][7]
Another acting giant has passed. RIP.
