Wow. I just watched his guest spot on The Muppet Show yesterday. It was so funny.

Goodbye, Sir Ustinov.

Whatever said:
From MSN:
"His imposing figure, variously described as resembling a teddy bear, a giant panda or a Georgian frontage, began 12 pounds at birth and stayed with him throughout his career."
I like "Georgian frontage", myself. Beautiful.

:cool:

I thought it was particularily funny that "his imposing figure stayed with him throughout his career." I mean, come on, where would it go to? Australia?

Indeed. Also, Jan Berry of Jan and Dean has died at age 62. They were The Other Beach Boys and some argue they had a superior sound. They were finished, at the top of their young game, when Jan lived out the words of one of their songs and crashed his car at high speed, ruining his life. They had just lately been singing together again, amazingly.

:frown:

Oh gosh, I didn't even know anything about him really untill now other then his Muppet cameo work. He voiced Babara and the Lion prince! It looks like he lived a good long life though. :smile:
