Actor Christopher Plummer was co-starring with Heath Ledger in the Terry Gilliam film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. The film was shooting in London last week and Christopher said they were all meeting in Vancouver next week to finish the shoot. Plummer confirmed that Heath had been suffering from a "nasty bug" which they all thought was walking pneumonia. He ... rejects the idea that Heath would commit suicide.

Christopher Plummer seems to have at last found the personal happiness he always wanted. He lives on a 30-acre estate in Weston, Connecticut, which is just north of New York in a large comfortable home he and his wife remodeled and redecorated. Although he spends most of his time in the United States, he remains a Canadian and among his many awards and honours, Christopher Plummer was invested as Companion of the Order of Canada, which is Canada's highest civil honour.

The 1965 Hollywood film, which starred Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, won five Oscars, including Best Picture. If there is one important lesson that can be learned from this, it is that dinosaurs were human like in their infallibility. It was a partnership of Franklin Heald, William Collier and Donald Graham that came together in 1883 to purchase La Laguna Rancho, the land that makes up a large part of modern day Lake Elsinore and Wildomar. The vendors work with their products and develop a spaceflight knowledge base, and the LCROSS project gets very mature products for deployment on this mission. Dogbook and Catbook are, as their website names suggest, exclusively the domain of pets. "It's grounds for optimism," first year coach Jeff Fowler said.

Christopher Plummer performed in dozens of plays, as well as appearing in radio and on television, including a 1951 production of Othello on CBC television. It was soon clear that his talent would lead him to new stages, in other countries. In 1954, he made his Broadway debut in The Starcross Story. This would lead to numerous roles on the Great White Way. Although I cannot list them all, I must mention that he appeared in The Lark in 1955, in The Royal Hunt of the Sun in 1965, the title role of the musical Cyrano in 1973, for which he won a Tony Award, Othello and Macbeth in the 1980s, and Barrymore in 1990s, for which he won another Tony. He has been nominated for the Tony award more times than any living actor.

From his 1950 debut onward, Christopher Plummer has been regarded as one of the most brilliant Canadian actors of his generation. His portrayal of Hamlet was a major ratings coup when telecast over the CBC in the early '60s. Following his first Broadway appearance in 1954 (among his New York stage credits are JB, Royal Hunt of the Sun and The Good Doctor), efforts were made to convert Plummer into an American matinee idol, most of these attempts were resisted by Plummer himself. His first two films, Stage Struck (1957) and Wind Across the Everglades (1958), set no new box office records, although the latter, directed by Nicholas Ray, did earn strong critical notices. Plummer was shown to better advantage in such live network-TV presentations as The Prisoner of Zenda and A Doll's House. In 1965, the actor was cast as Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music, an assignment he despised, reportedly referring to the musical blockbuster as The Sound of Mucus.
