According to foreign media reports, actor Christopher Plummer, who has acted in many works such as "The Sound of Music", "A Beautiful Mind", "Flying House", "Money World" and many other works, died at the age of 91 at his home in Connecticut on Friday local time.
Christopher Plummer's death was first announced by his wife, Elaine Taylor, a 77-year-old British actress, who said she was with her when she died. As for the cause of his death, Taylor explained that he "hit his head after falling".
Christopher Plummer' 75-year acting career began as a stage actor, best known for his roles in Shakespeare's plays, where he also appeared in more than 100 films and was also active on the stage. He has won the Oscars, Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards, British Academy Film Awards, Emmy Awards, Tony Awards and other awards.
Christopher Plummer has played "The Colonel" in "The Sound of Music" and has also starred in "A Beautiful Mind", "The Last Stop", "Beginner", "Flying House", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and other works. In recent years, he is still active on the big screen, and he has given wonderful performances in "The World of Money" and "Sharp Blade Out of the Sheath". In 2012, he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for Beginner, making him the oldest Oscar actor winner and nominee. He said excitedly: "I am really excited to nominate an old boy in his 80s." In 2018, Plummer was again nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "Money World".
In 1965, Christopher Plummer became famous worldwide for playing the role of Captain von Trapp in the feature film The Sound of Music, directed by Robert Wise.
Despite the fame and fortune of The Sound of Music, Christopher Plummer never seemed to like the work, even annoyingly calling it "The Sound of Snot.". Christopher is known for his violent temper in the industry and is known as Hollywood's grumpy male star. During the filming of The Sound of Music, because he did not want to sing, he threatened the producers and quit if he sang.
Julie Andrews, an actress who learned of Plummer's death and became famous for The Sound of Music, sadly said that "the world has lost a wonderful actor, I have lost a cherished friend", and Andrews, now 85, also said that "I cherish the memories of our work together, and all the humor and fun we have shared over the years".
