Christopher Plummer, Sound of Music patriarch and oldest Oscar winner, dead at 91 – Sydney Morning Herald
Despite a career spanning more than 100 films, the Canadian actor was known for his role as Captain von Trapp opposite Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music.
He flourished in a succession of meaty roles after age 70 – a time in life when most actors merely fade away. He claimed a long-awaited Academy Award at age 82 for his supporting performance in Beginners as an elderly man who comes out of the closet as gay after his wifes death.
