Christopher Plummer, who starred in The Sound of Music, won an Oscar for Beginners and was nominated for All the Money in the World and The Last Station, died peacefully today at his home in Connecticut, his family confirmed. Elaine Taylor, his wife and true best friend for 53 years, was by his side.

Lou Pitt, his longtime friend and manager of 46 years said; “Chris was an extraordinary man who deeply loved and respected his profession with great old fashion manners, self deprecating humor and the music of words. He was a National Treasure who deeply relished his Canadian roots. Through his art and humanity, he touched all of our hearts and his legendary life will endure for all generations to come. He will forever be with us.”

It's a good run, at least.

So many great roles from Sound of Music, Knives Out, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and my personal fav was his turn as Chang, which he attacked with pure joy and simply ate up every scene he was in...overacting?..maybe...enjoyable?..completely!

I'll be honest, a few years ago when I realised that he was the dad from Sound of Music, I was like. 'wuuuaaaat?!" because there was such a gap between that role and the ones I'd seen him in. And yeah, Chang was my favourite of his roles, all "I'm going to ham this up a LOT!"

Well, if you think about it, that shows his great range as an actor. :)
