Christopher Plummer
- Born: 13 Dec, 1927
Arguably the greatest survivor of the two-fisted drinkers school of acting that included the likes of Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole and Albert Finney, the classically-trained, Canadian-born Christopher Plummer established himself on both sides of the Atlantic as one of the finest stage performers of his generation, particularly in the roles of Shakespeare. He has headlined for three of the world's most noted theater companies, Great Britain's National Theater, The Royal Shakespeare Company and The Stratford Festival of his native Canada. Plummer also has worked in a host of movies to supplement his theatrical earnings, most memorably as Baron Georg Von Trapp in the smash hit "The Sound of Music" (1965), starring Julie Andrews.
