Gone-dhi

Or

Attenburied

Richard Attenborough, escaper of Nazis (sort of), raiser of dinosaurs, bestower of miracles on 34th Street, has died at the age of 90. A mosquito that bit him earlier this year has been stored in amber with the expectation of bringing him back some day. No expense will be spared. His first major role was as a baby-faced killer in the British noir film Brighton Rock. He led The Great Escape, where he got nearly all of his men killed. He played British serial killer John Christie. He got lots of people killed by dinosaurs as John Hammond in Jurassic Park. He won Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture for Gandhi, which chronicled the Indian leader’s overthrow of British rule, which got him killed. His performance as Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street was remarkably carnage free.
