Actor, filmdirector Richard Attenborough (1923-2014) passed away on 24th August.
Lord Attenborough was one of Britain's leading actors, before becoming a highly successful director. He had a long career and to me he was best known for his roles in Jurassic Park, Hamlet and Elizabeth and for directing the film Gandhi.
I quote from Wikipedia:
"Richard Samuel Attenborough... was an English actor, film director, film producer, and entrepreneur. He was the President of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).
As a film director and producer, he won two Academy Awards for Gandhi in 1983. He also won four BAFTA Awards and four Golden Globe Awards. As an actor, he is perhaps best known for his roles in Brighton Rock, The Great Escape, 10 Rillington Place, Miracle on 34th Street and Jurassic Park.[1]
He was the older brother of Sir David Attenborough, a naturalist and broadcaster and John Attenborough, an executive at Alfa Romeo..."
