Title: Pete Postlethwaite dies.
Post by: macmac on January 03, 2011, 10:10:16
Just read the sad news that actor Pete Postlethwaite has died and only 64.
I always enjoyed him whatever he was in.
Shame  :(

Nooo!!! Really?? Looking that up right now... I hadn't heard anything at all. If it's true, what a sad loss. We never get this type of news here in France  >:(

It is always sad when some one dies but I have to admit, I had never heard of him until the announcement came out. I then looked him up and I never saw any of his work either.

Of course I sympathise with his family at their time of their loss.

If you haven't  seen "Brassed off" you've missed a gem!

Hopefully they will show some of his films as a tribute.

Spielberg said he was the greatest actor on the planet, and that was when he was still alive.
