Sound of Music actor Christopher Plummer dies at 91TheJournal.ie

CANADIAN ACTOR CHRISTOPHER Plummer has died at the age of 91.

Plummer starred in Sound of Music opposite Julie Andrews in 1965 and won an Oscar, the oldest actor to win an Academy Award, for his role in 2010’s Beginners.

Plummer starred in a number of box office hits after Sound of Music, including The Man Who Would Be King.

In 2010, he received his first Oscar nomination, for the Tolstoy biopic The Last Station, which led to a late resurgence in Plummer’s career. He would go on to star in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Knives Out.

He subsequently broke another age-related Oscar record as the oldest actor to be nominated, when he earned his third Oscar nomination in 2018, at age 88, for All the Money in the World.

Plummer’s death was confirmed by his manager tonight.
