So for a few days now, I’ve
been searching for a way to remember actor/director Richard Attenborough, who
passed away earlier this week. Attenborough was a renowned actor and director.
As an actor he was best
known in his early career as a military man in such pictures as “The Great
Escape” (1963), “Guns at Batasi” (1964), “The Flight of the Phoenix” (1965),
and “The Sand Pebbles” (1967). He also appeared in “Doctor Doolittle” (1968), “10
Rellington Place” (1971), Satyajit Ray’s “The Chess Players” (1977), and Otto
Preminger’s “The Human Factor” (1979). He was perhaps best known to modern
audiences, however, for his late career rolls as John Hammond in Steven
Spielberg’s “Jurassic Park” (1993) and “Jurassic Park: The Lost World” (1997),
and as Kris Kringle in the 1994 holiday remake “Miracle on 34th
Street”.
