Forever With Us

Christopher Plummer's good looks and talent took him far in this world,
born in Toronto Canada, he became an actor of film, TV and stage;
received the Order of Canada. We will never forget Captain Van Trapp,
an exceptional man with a sense of humour-  he will be forever with us !

He'll always be known as Captain Von Trapp but starred in many more famous movies. A fine actor and a gentleman. Congrats on your win Constance, hope you have an enjoyable week ahead. Tom

Tom, thank you for the congratulations, the reason I remember him so well as Captain Von Trapp is that my mom and I watched that movie so often together since I was a young girl, and I still watch it often ~Constance

Beautifully crafted tribute to this very talented and handsome actor. I loved him in Sound of Music, but also in Must Love Dogs as the romantic senior citizen who recites classic poetry at every family gathering! Congrats on your win.

Wonderful epitaph for Christopher Plummer, Constance. Sadly, he was known best known as Captain Von Trapp, but he was far more versatile than people realize. Definitely one of the most seasoned Shakespearean actors of the yesteryear! A great Canadian and actor. May his soul rest in peace.

Edward, thank you so much for the compliment, yes he was much more than The Sound of Music, I read somewhere that he did not even like the movie ~Constance
