Alicja Bachleda-Curuś Instagram – Such a legend. Made rigor and discipline so very appealing in #thesoundofmusic RIP @vanityfair with @get_repost ・・・ Christopher Plummer, the legendary actor known for his leading role in The Sound of Music, has died at 91. The prolific thespian spent decades finding his footing as a character actor—and, in 2012, became the oldest person ever to win an Oscar when he won a statue for his supporting turn in the film Beginners. “I’m thrilled that I turned into a character actor quite early on,” he once told V.F. “I hated being a poncey leading man. You really start to worry about your jawline. Please.”
