Probably best known as the old man with the mosquito embedded in his walking cane in the original Jurassic Park movie, I better remember him from Bridge on the River Kwai, The Great Escape and The Sand Pebbles. And of course, for his lifetime peaking achievement of directing Gandhi.
An excellent actor, a gifted director, it is too bad that his romantic version of Ghandi is so far removed from the reality.
Nevertheless, he made his mark on cinema and lived a long time. Here is to you, Mr. Attenborough.
