- Christopher Plummer (1929-2021) was a Canadian theatre, film and television actor. He made his film debut in 1958's "Stage Struck", and notable film performances include "The Night of the Generals", "The Return of the Pink Panther", "The Man Who Would Be King".
In a career that spans seven decades and includes substantial roles in each of the dramatic arts, Plummer is probably best known to film audiences as the autocratic widower Captain Georg Ludwig von Trapp in the hit 1965 musical film "The Sound of Music" alongside Julie Andrews. Plummer has also ventured into various television projects, including the legendary miniseries "The Thorn Birds".
Fyodor Komissarzhevsky (1882--1954) or Theodore Komisarjevsky, as he is better known in the West, was a Russian theatrical director and designer. He began his career in Moscow, but had his greatest influence in London. He was noted for groundbreaking productions of plays by Chekhov and Shakespeare.
Mr. Plummer was the epitome of a class act on every level.
His performances are brilliantly unique and set the highest bar for his peers.
Au Revoir Captain Von Trapp...your legions of fans will miss you dearly.
May his memory be a blessing.🙏🏼
He was like a fine wine he improved with age.
Last of the regal and aristocratic actors of stage and film. ❤
Still so very handsome, perhaps even better than in his younger years....a certain beauty that is classic, timeless, a gorgeous man, and oh, his speaking voice.....English can be the loveliest of languages...I could listen to him for hours on end..
I love listening to Mr Plummer. He is a Canadian and Canadians speak beautiful English, I think the very best.
Spot on.
And he spoke a wonderful french also. This man often pleaded for a better recognition of the two languages in this land of his after all he was raised with both and worked in both at the start of his wonderful 70 decades career. And he often said that with French-candian (of which I am one) this country would not be what it is. And I think that he was right.
A beautiful, intelligent soul and a magnificent actor.
For my 40th birthday I was given tickets to see MacBeth in Boston before it went on to NYC...my teen children and I sat in row 3! Plummer's own reserved seats that were not being used...we were so close to the stage we could smell the whiskey fumes when he came out before the final act....Yes, he was magnificent!
EVERYONE! Get "REMEMBER" from Netflix, you will never, ever forget it or Plummer's performance.
If Mr Plummer had not drunk so much he might have been with us longer. When God gifts you a wonderful face, body and voice it should be your duty to look after it. RIP Mr Plummer one of the world’s best looking actors.
It makes me so sad to learn that such a talented and gifted man risked his like and looks by drinking heavily.😥😢😥😢😥
I believe during one theatre performance a mobile rang, so he came out of character and said, “It’s OK you can take that, we can wait” C.Plummer master of then unexpected.
CANADIAN whiskey!!!
i will always remember Christopher Plummer for Battle Of Britain! as Squadron Leader Colin Harvey. my favourite EVER movie!!
He is someone I admired him and with all of his talented music and they are my favorite songs and he was cute and handsome the movie aIways loved his voice I will miss it god bless I can you sing by side
He is someone I admired him because I was expired by his talented music and all of them are them are my favorites young and handsome never be forgotten
My most favoured memory is of P playing Atahualpa for the BBC in a 1970s production- he was both alien and hypnotic.
That film was the Royal Hunt of the Sun! I saw it when I was a 10 year old and loved Atahualpa. I just recently rediscovered the film.
I bet he was even better on stage.
John Simon, who is my favorite critic, has said that Mr. Plummer's autobiography is the best in any genre that he has read. Well, I don't know about that, but it is the best about acting that I have read.
I thought it was very good as well.
Evert age bestowed upon him a different charisma
I just realised the interviewer is Anne’s Uncle
R H Thompson - also Uncle Jasper in Road to Avonlea
This is a sad day...
God Rest His Soul
Goodnight sweet prince may flights of angels sing you to your rest.
Christopher Plummer’s death is a total disaster for stage and screen. I only wish l had taken time out to see him on the stage. Then stage was his real home, it was the place he could drink in the adulation of the audience.
