keithisco Posted August 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Oscar-winning British film director Richard Attenborough has died at the age of 90, his son has said. Lord Attenborough was one of Britain's leading actors, before becoming a highly successful director. In a career that spanned six decades, he appeared in films including Brighton Rock, World War Two prisoner of war thriller The Great Escape and later in dinosaur blockbuster Jurassic Park. As a director he was perhaps best known for Gandhi, which won him two Oscars Source (BBC): http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-28923074 RIP Sir Richard... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OverSword Posted August 25, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Too bad. Rest in peace Sir Richard. 90 is a nice long life, but 300 would probably be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
