Donald Sutherland RIP

[Redshoeblueshoe]

Kiefer Sutherland has just announced on Twitter the death of his father.

Donald - you are a legend RIP

Klute and Don't Look Now were wonderful.

Don't Look Now really was brilliant, one of my favourites

I loved Don’t Look Now.

RIP Donald. You where a 🌟

He was a titan

Wonderful, characterful actor. My mum loved him in the 70s and 80s.

RIP Mr Sutherland

Oh no that's so sad. Such a great actor.

RIP Hawkeye, you were so utterly, utterly cool.

Oddball 😍😪

He somehow managed to be stately, cool, intelligent, sexy, humane and wry all at the same time and in many different incarnations during his long career.

Don’t look now was a fave but he added something special to everything he ever appeared in. You were truly a one off Mr Sutherland. 💐

Rip Mr Sutherland, he was such a brilliant and versatile actor. My thoughts are with Keifer and the rest of his family

I remember him in lots of films but at the moment, 'Outbreak', he was phenomenal in that. But then again, he was terrific in everything he every did.

Definitely one of the greats and there really aren't many, none to compare.

Not sure why the other thread was deleted but here is DS in Cloudbusting, which I bloody love and a bit about his involvement below...

Donald Sutherland: “Barry Richardson, who was the hairdresser on Nic Roeg’s Don’t Look Now, asked me if I’d do a music video with Kate Bush. I told him no and we went on to other conversations. A couple of days later there was a knock on my door. I lived in the Savoy Hotel (in London). On the river. Suite 312. I loved it there. So cosseted. So private. Only the floor butler rang the door. I opened it. There was no one there. I heard a voice saying hello and I looked down. Standing down there was a very small Kate Bush. Barry had told her where I lived. What can you do? She wanted to explain what her video was about. I let her in. She sat down, said some stuff. All I heard was ‘Wilhelm Reich’. I’d taken an underground copy of his The Mass Psychology of Fascism with me when I went to film (Bernardo) Bertolucci’s Novecento in Parma. Reich’s work informed the psychological foundations of Attila Mellanchini, the character Bernardo had cast me to play. Everything about Reich echoed through me. He was there then and now he was here. Sitting across from me in the person of the very eloquent Kate Bush. Synchronicity. Perfect. She talked some more. I said OK and we made ‘Cloudbusting’. She’s wonderful, Kate Bush. Wonderful. I love that I did it. (What do I remember) about doing it? I remember being in the car and the hill and them taking me, taking Reich, away and looking back through the back window of the car and seeing her, seeing Reich’s son Peter, standing there. And I remember the first morning on set seeing her coming out of her trailer smoking a joint and I cautioned her, saying she shouldn’t smoke that, it’d affect her work, and she looked at me for a second and said she hadn’t been straight for nine years and I loved her”.

Thanks for posting that, WintryJuneWhy. I can't imagine why any thread about Donald Sutherland would have been deleted, but I'm glad this one is here.

He was brilliant as Mr Bennet in Pride and Prejudice.

RIP ❤️

Yes I dont inderstand why it was deleted. I loved Cloudbusting too. He really was a giant and the family must be devasted.

When I started this thread I hadn't seen the other one. the other one was started first. I nearly asked for this to be deleted. I'm glad I didn't.
Anyway I have recently watched The Champions - and he played a crazy bloke in that, and he was also in The Avengers. Some of the TV shows in the 60's were mad and great at the same time.

Oh lord how can a thread be felted on ds!

Also adored him... Something so beguiling about him
