 We rarely note the passing of a famously riffed character, but we’re making an exception here to note the passing of actor Bernard Hill, perhaps best known as King Theoden in the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, and who is known to MSTies as the actor played the captain in captain in “Titanic.”
He was 79.  Manhattan — Edgar Lansbury, the Tony-winning producer and younger brother of actress Angela Lansbury, died May 2 at his home here. He was 94
He worked on Broadway and movie versions of “The Subject Was Roses” and ‘Godspell’ and on a revival of ‘Gypsy’ that starred his sister. He died Thursday at his home in Manhattan, his son David Lansbury told The Hollywood Reporter. Lansbury also produced the popular 1974-75 Broadway revival of Gypsy that starred his sister in a Tony-winning turn and worked on other films including “The Wild Party” (1975), directed by James Ivory. MSTies know his work as executive producer for the movie in episode 1012- SQUIRM. The Hollywood Reporter has the story. Thanks to Tim for the heads up. |
