Richard Attenborough dies at 90

This according to his son, who said that the actor and director died about lunch time.

Great actor; I really liked "The Great Escape" and "Jurassic Park".

Gone but not forgotten.

RIP Dickie. Best performance, IMO, was the psychotic Sgt Major in Guns at Batasi (1964) who also wore an early Speedmaster. A great career.

Try and track it down. His opening line almost knocked me off the sofa.

I definitely will. If it's on Amazon Prime, I can watch tomorrow night.

Actually, I just ordered it from Amazon. It'll be here by Wednesday.

There's a limited number available at this time and it wasn't available on Amazon Prime Instant Video, so I figured I needed to get it now.

I'll wait until it comes before I watch any of the scenes.
