PBS高端访谈:《音乐之声》男主角去世

JUDY WOODRUFF: And a passing to note tonight. Award-winning actor Christopher Plummer died today at his home in Connecticut. During his nearly 70-year career, Plummer became known for a wide variety of roles that won him an Oscar, two Emmys and a pair of Tony Awards along the way. Jeffrey Brown looks back on some of Plummer's most iconic roles.

JEFFREY BROWN: He was a leading Shakespearian actor throughout his life, but it was this role ...

CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER, Actor: As I sound your signals, you will step forward and give your names.

JEFFREY BROWN: ... as Captain von Trapp opposite Julie Andrews in the beloved 1965 film "Sound of Music" that catapulted Canadian-born actor Christopher Plummer to stardom. He famously disparaged¹ the part at first, but later came to terms with it and the success it brought. Plummer went on to star in a wide range of films, from Tolstoy in "The Last Station" to playing the voice of the villain² in the cartoon film "Up." And he had an extraordinary film renaissance³ late in life.

CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER: I'm gay.

JEFFREY BROWN: His role in "Beginners" as a man who comes out as gay after 44 years of marriage made him the oldest actor to win an Oscar, at 82.

CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER: My mother once predicted that I would have to wait to be a very old man before receiving recognition⁴ in our profession. She was absolutely right, of course.

JEFFREY BROWN: He continued acting⁵ in recent years, starring in the crime thriller⁶ "All The money in the World" and in the 2019 film "Knives Out." Christopher Plummer died at his Connecticut home this morning after a blow to his head from a fall. He was 91 years old. For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm Jeffrey Brown.
