Herbert Lom, Pink Panther star, dies aged 95

Quote:
Lom as he appeared in Curse of the Pink Panther, The Ladykillers, The Seventh Veil, The Human Jungle and I Have Been Here Before.Actor Herbert Lom, best known for playing Charles Dreyfus in the Pink Panther films, has died aged 95.

The Czech-born, London-based actor starred opposite Peter Sellers in several films as Inspector Clouseau's irritable boss.

Lom appeared in more than 100 films during his 60-year acting career, including such classics as The Ladykillers, Spartacus and El Cid.

His family said he died peacefully in his sleep on Thursday.

Lom also portrayed Napoleon Bonaparte on two occasions. One of them came in the 1956 screen adaptation of Tolstoy's War And Peace, also starring Audrey Hepburn and Henry Fonda.

RIP Herbert Lom. I've got the boxset of the Pink Panther films, unopened. I'll have to open it soon out of respect and definitely not for my amusement.

Not for your amusement? And you think that is the right way to farewell a comedian? If you want to honour the man, then have a party with friends, all laughing while you watch the movies!

There is the this short story by Ray Bradbury, one of his Irish stories. A rich man and collector of Whisky, or beer - I forgot the details, but probably Whisky -, dies, and the village is invited to the funeral, but his last will said that all his liquid treasures should be lowered with the coffin into the grave.

And so the people of the village all join the funeral, lining up at the grave, his whisky bottles in their hands and drinking and channeling it through their bodies and into the grave, and while drinking and pissing into the grave at the same time the whisky goes where the dead man intended it to be.



I also love the inscription on the gravestone of Edward Abbey: "No comment."

"See, now I am even starting to talk like him!"

'A Shot in the Dark' is probably one of my favourite of the series, will have to dig my boxset out and watch it again.
