Another legend of the film world has sadly passed away, director and actor Richard Attenborough has died aged 90.
It’s been a terrible and sad year for stars of the screen leaving us. Robin Williams and Lauren Bacall died last week. Now Lord Richard Attenborough, star of Jurassic Park, has died aged 90. Many film fans know him for owning a theme park full of dinosaurs, but he will also be remembered for his roles in Brighton Rock and The Great Escape.
Attenborough was also the man who directed the film Gandhi, which of course won the Oscar for Best film in 1982.
Sir Ben Kingsley, who played Gandhi in the movie, had this to say.
“Richard Attenborough trusted me with the crucial and central task of bringing to life a dream it took him 20 years to bring to fruition.
“When he gave me the part of Gandhi it was with great grace and joy. He placed in me an absolute trust and in turn I placed an absolute trust in him and grew to love him.”
Rest in Peace Lord Richard Attenborough and thank you for entertaining us all for decades.
