The famous actor Christopher Plummer died – Cinema and TV – Culture

Christopher Plummer, one of Canada’s best-loved film actors, died at his home in Connecticut, United States, at the age of 91.

This was announced by his manager and friend Lou Pitt in an emotional message: “Chris was an extraordinary man who loved and respected his profession with great manners, a sense of humor and always with nice words for everyone,” he said.
“He was a national treasure who always boasted of his Canadian roots. He touched our hearts through his art and humanity and his storied life will last for generations to come. He will be with us forever.”

Plummer built a vigorous career in film and theater. He was the main character of the mythical musical La Novicia Rebelde (The Sound of Music) with Julie Andrews. He worked until he was 90 years old and at the age of 82 he became the surviving Oscar recipient for his work in Beginner (2012). He recently acted on behalf of Ridley Scott in All the Money in the World (2018) and in the drama Between razors and secrets (2019).

The actor is also remembered for such films as The fall of the Roman Empire, Waterloo, 12 monkeys and Jesus of Nazareth, among other things.

Last year, the interpreter lent his voice to one of the characters in the adventure film Heroes of the Golden Masks, due to be released in 2021.

Plummer has been married three times and is the father of fellow actress and singer Amanda Plummer.
