Christopher Plummer has died

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Feeling very sad about this, even though he was 91. The Sound of Music is one of my favourite films and reduces me to a snivelling wreck every time I see it. RIP, Mr Plummer, and thanks for everything. You were great in Knives Out recently.

Oh he was lovely in the Sound of Music.

Everyone was lovely in The Sound of Music, except the Nazis, obviously. Even the Baroness had some redeeming features.

Sad about this. Sound of music was my favourite film as a child.

Me too. I've just listened to some of the soundtrack and had a bit of a cry. Reminds me so much of watching with my mum

'Bless my homeland forever'. That always got my grandma going.

So sorry to hear this - DH just told me, as I am a Sound of Music fanatic (even did a tour in Salzburg).

🕯 Christopher Plummer. 😥

He was undoubtedly a very talented actor, and I'm sure he will be a sad loss to his family and friends, but he was also very arrogant, selfish, had a vile temper, was an appalling snob, a drinker, a poor father and not a particularly faithful husband, but other than that........

Applies to a lot of actors, I'm sure, @Ihavenoidea.

My great aunt loved him in sound of music; every time I went to stay with her as a child/teen we would watch it on video. When it came out on DVD we would sit and watch the extended version, complete with intermission in the middle, and, we would watch it continually whenever I stayed over and stay up into the early hours talking about it.

He was why she sat through my favourite Star Trek film (undiscovered country) in which he plays a wonderful Klingon, and, again loved it. So the two films became our comfort films.

His death very much brings back her passing.

I love the sound of music, but I read somewhere that he was pretty awful to work with and didn't like the kids. He refused to take part in a reunion in the early 90's.

He used to call it the sound of mucus! He was good in knives out.

he was so lovely in The Sound of Music

I'm really sad he's died. I love the Sound of Music.

He was married to his last wife for 53 years. Also it's been documented that his daughter's mother refused to allow him access. He made contact with her as an adult and they had a friendly relationship subsequently.

He's also the oldest actor ever to win an Academy Award.

He was excellent in ‘Oedipus the King’ .

He was very good in All the Money in the World.

He will forever be Captain Von Trapp for most people.

I used to love the Sound of Music as a kid too. My family on my Mum's side is Austrian. They don't like the film at all.

CP's daughter - Amanda - was excellent in 'The Prophecy', she's underrated I think, has her dad's talent.

I'm devastated. He was my all time favourite actor - a huge talent.

Never watched the sound of music but loved him in The Thorn Birds

I did not expect to feel so upset when he died.
I feel like Captain Von Trapp himself has died.

This is my favourite film ever. I've watched it SO many times. I've always had a soft spot for him. When I heard the news of his death I watched the YouTube clip of him singing Edelweiss in the singing competition. The clip shows him getting choked up. I started bloody crying!!! I don't know where that came from but for some reason I feel really sad!

@SpanishFly Captain Von Trapp died in 1947

The BBC are saying his singing was dubbed in The Sound of Music!

It was dubbed, it was Bill Lee who sang it.
Here is Christophers version
Bills is much better

I loved him as CvT

The sexual tension here 🥵
