Christopher Plummer died on January 8, 2021. He was one of the few actors to have won the Triple Crown of Acting. He also won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor. He was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
He had a troubled love life. He had several flings with other actresses. He often went to drinking parties with his showbiz buddies. But he never strayed far from his stage career. He is a fan of Leonard Maltin and he has a fondness for classical literature.
Relationship with Jason Robards
Despite the fact that Amanda Plummer and her husband Jason Robards have been tabbing the limelight for years now, the relationship between the two of them is still very much a smoky affair. In fact, it has prompted an ad campaign to get them on the same page as each other. The marketing ploy was to have each of them in their finest hour attire. That is a feat in itself.
One might be surprised to learn that Christopher Lloyd, the actor whose heyday encompassed most of the 1970s, was not the most sprightly of the pair. It was a bit of a surprise that the twosome actually got along in the end. The only caveat to this was that their marriage lasted less than five years. They were the envy of their co-stars, notably, their respective wives, who were also teeing off on the dating scene. This might have been the genesis of the ad campaign.
Nevertheless, there are no hard feelings here. Neither of them have been toting around a single digit sum in a matter of weeks. The good news is that both of them are about to get a goodnight kiss in the near future. This is one of the few good times in recent memory and I can’t imagine how a lot of them will survive the night.

Autobiography
Whether you’re a fan of Christopher Plummer’s work or not, you’ll probably appreciate his autobiography. His anecdotes are full of wit and insight, and his tributes to fellow artists are a fine example of theatre writing. But, as his life goes on, the book becomes less interesting.
In the early 1980s, Plummer was a promising young actor. He was working as a child performer in Stratford, Ontario, when he was invited to join the new Royal Shakespeare Company, under Peter Hall. It was in this new company that he met Katharine Cornell, a legendary actress-manager. The two married in 1962. But five years later, their marriage ended in divorce.
Plummer’s anecdotes are also full of insights into other actors. For instance, his memoir describes a scene in which a Black hotel employee is falsely accused of rape. He explains that he was drunk at a rehearsal and acted out the whole role at the table. But he doesn’t tell readers how long he stayed drunk. He also reveals that he was having an erection while a pretty nurse held his hand during a kidney stone operation.
Plummer also mentions his love of dogs. He’s a big reader and his stories involve the people behind the scenes. He also has a great respect for acting craft. But, at times, his prose style is perversely mannered. It’s as if he had borrowed his writing style from a Penthouse Forum letter.
A little-known fact is that Plummer was raised by a giant shaggy Airedale. His grandfather was the Field Marshal Lord Byng of Vimy. His mother, Elaine, is a cardiologist. She is well-read and athletic. But, she has little money.
