Great Actor RIP

Dickie, you will be very much missed. Rest in Peace

I've been sending letters to famous and not so famous people ( its a weird arty nonsense project) over a number of years and Richard Attenborogh never bothered to reply (bleddy luvvie).

David Attenborough did reply though. I've found it quite interesting the types of so called celeberities who do or do not reply.

Any 1950s war film with Richard Attenborough (and/or John Mills) is a classic as far as I'm concerned.  But my favourite is one that was actually made during WW2 in 1943- In Which We Serve.  A blatant propaganda/morale boosting type film loosely based on the exploits of Louis Mountbatten when he was Captain of HMS Kelly.  It also starred the brilliant Noel Coward in the captain's role.  Richard Attenborough's role, although playing a minor part as a sailor who deserts his post during a battle, is an enduring part of the film due to his sheer acting ability and presence. And there's a scene filmed on Plymouth Hoe.

RIP

Another great gone.

RIP, Dickie.  

Dickie Darling loved your King Lear at the Old Vic, an absolute triumph! RIP.
