Default Richard Attenborough dies aged 90

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-08-2...eports/5693208

RIP Dickie.

In Which We Serve and The Great Escape were some great examples of this true legend of stage and screen, that I recall fondly.

It's OK, we'll get his blood from a mosquito trapped in amber and clone him...

Spare no expense!

Returned home from work at 11.30pm GMT last night, switched the news channels on and promptly shed a tear or two.

RIP Dickie

One of my all time favorites, both as an actor and a director. Thanks, your Lordship, for all the great characters and all the great films. RIP...

I haven't seen his recent works, but I liked him a lot in THE FLIGHT OF THE PHEONIX. It's one of my favorites.

R.I.P.
