Aw such a shame. Great actor and director

May he rest in peace. I'm glad he had a good, long, productive life.

R.I.P. He'd been in failing health for quite some time, now. He also lost a daughter and granddaughter in the 2004 tsunami.

This is really weird because I'm watching Chaplin on Netflix right now, just as I saw this. (It's not very good BTW.)

RIP, Mr. Attenborough.

So many great roles - In Which We Serve, Brighton Rock, Private's Progress, The League of Gentlemen, The Flight of the Phoenix, And Then There Were None, The Sand Pebbles, Conduct Unbecoming. People mostly only remember Jurassic Park and The Great Escape. Which, while popular weren't even close to his best work in front of the camera.

And you can't forget what he did behind the camera, really: Oh! What A Lovely War, Gandhi, A Chorus Line, Cry Freedom and A Bridge Too Far.

Richard Attenborough, director, actor, producer and one time Brit baddie. His chilling performance in Brighton Rock was absolutely brilliant. RIP sir.

It's sad but I was relieved that I'd misheard it and it wasn't his brother, David.

He'll always be Big X and John Christie to me.........RIP Mr. Attenborough. I read in one of his obits that he lost a daughter and granddaughter in the 2004 Tsunami. Very sad.
