Christopher Plummer, who has died in Connecticut at the age of 91, accumulated, over seven decades, all the honours an actor could wish for.
As long ago as 1961, he appeared as Richard III for the Royal Shakespeare Company. Close to 50 years later, he became the oldest person ever to win an acting Oscar a record he still holds when he took the best supporting prize for Mike Mills’s Beginners.
Along the way, he worked with John Huston, Spike Lee, Michael Mann and Ridley Scott. In 1968, he was invested as Companion of the Order of Canada.
