R.I.P. Christopher Plummer

BREAKING: Actor Christopher Plummer has died aged 91.

The Oscar Winner and Sound Of Music star passed away peacefully at his home in Connecticut.

I've always admired him as an actor, singer, dancer and a true gentleman. May his voice continue to echo in the hills.

R.I.P. Christopher.

Yes, when I think of the Sound of Music, he comes to mind.

RIP, Mr. Plummer

Yes, absolutely! Actually it's been going on for a good few years. I dread to read the news.

I feel as if my Island of Memories is getting smaller as it slowly crumbles away into the sea.

Interesting interview by Herr Plummer...he was very complimentary about the movie, tho was tired of talking about it.

Interviewer: Did they dub your voice...

PLUMMER: They did for the long passages. It was very well done. The entrances and exits from the songs were my voice, and then they filled in - in those days, they were very fussy about matching voices in musicals. And Julie, of course, had been - you know, trained since day one as a - I mean, she was tone perfect since she was in her cradle, which is an exasperating thing to admit. And it was awfully hard to match her and her sustained, long notes. So yeah, I was - they did it very well 'cause it sounded very much like me.

Yes, I heard that kind of thing went on at the time. Even Audrey Hepburn, as Eliza Doolittle, in My Fair Lady had her songs dubbed over by someone else.

I still think he had a deep and voluptuous voice.

No one better make jokes about him passing, I don't want to hear any Plummer cracks.

Rest in Peace

Butt, he was not a plumber, even if he had a decent set of pipes.

Glad to see your ears weren't clogged and you didn't go down the drain with a joke.

RIP.
Wow...I thought he must've been older than 91.
Fond memories of watching him in all those Hammer Horrors when I was a kid.

Are you doing exactly what I did? That is, mixing him up with Christopher Lee?

I thought they did a lot of movies together...mostly old horror flicks.

RIP Christopher Plummer.

Little side note that only true fans of the Sound of Music would know about was that Christoher Plummer hated the movie. He later took back some of his hatred claiming that he was being a little naughty. The below video is not the one that I was looking for where he shared that Angst in a 'proper sit-down' interview, but it'll do as he clears the air a bit.

He was an outstanding and award winning actor.
