I really hope that the DB in DB Cooper stood for ā€˜Desert Boots’.

At that age, he was oh so close to actually being alive at the same time as the original. Good innings.

It’s always a little disquieting when someone born the same year you were passes and they flash it up on the screen.

I guess the older I get, the more used to it I’ll become.

it is even worse when you start reading the death notices. Thankfully i haven’t started doing this yet.

I’m guessing, this time, those rumours of his death are not an exaggeration.

The internet has saved me from even contemplating doing that…I knew it had benefits apart from Blitz :wink:

That’s a big one. Great actor.

Amazing that he hated the movie and role that made him famous and defined his career for about 4 years - he only changed his mind on it about 15 years ago. He was always publicly quoted as disliking it but changed his mind in the early 2000s, and described it as a ā€œterrific movieā€ (which it is)

Thought he was fantastic in Sound of Music.

Very good actor, none more so than in The Fall of the Roman Empire.
As for Sound of Music, l have never seen it, and l never will.

Why? It’s iconic.

It’s like playing Monopoly or something - I didn’t know it was even possible to go through your life without seeing the Sound of Music at some point

RIP General Chang. To be, or not to be.

I swear Christopher Plummer from about 2005-2015, was ā€˜the old guy’ in single every film.

And if it wasn’t him, it was Michael Caine.

Unless the role called for an ā€œold black guyā€ (Morgan Freeman)
