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. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-28923074 |

The linked BBC article doesn't mention the role of his which was my favourite, but this one does: The role he found the most personally disturbing was that of murderer John Christie in 10 Rillington Place. Important movie very accurately based on a true story... must-see. R.I.P. Lord Attenborough. |
