In reply to the discussion: Christopher Plummer Passes Away At 91; 'Sound Of Music,' 'All The Money In The World' Star [View all]gratuitous
(82,849 posts)18. He had an interesting ride
I read his memoir "In Spite of Myself" last year. He doesn't dish on folks as much as the memoirs of others, and he had a big preoccupation with houses and properties he bought and sold throughout his career. But his reminiscences of growing up and his early days in the trade were interesting to me. The last thing I saw him in was "Knives Out," and I thought if I ever met him, I'd kid him about finally playing a younger man.

He played a truly scary villain in an excellent neo-noir, "The Silent Partner"
