Peter Ustinov dead at 82
 

Article

Truly sad. :-( I loved him in the Agatha Christie movies.

Sam

I remember him mostly from Spartacus and Logan's Run.

Sad indeed.

:(

I will always remember him as Nero from Quo Vadis.

I think I will spin Spartacus tonight as a tribute. He seemed to be a guy who was terribly underused in the later part of his life, what a tremendous character actor! RIP Pete!

His range as an actor knew no bounds .... whether it was the demented Nero, or a befuddled old man, or Hercule Poirot, he never failed to hit the mark.

And let's not forget his skills as an author - he wrote several plays that were presented in the West End and on Broadway, including the hilarious <i>Romanoff and Juliet</i>.

We'll miss you!

Death on the Nile and the rest of his poirot performances are what I will remember him for

During World War II, Private Peter Ustinov was batman to Lieutenant Colonel David Niven.

:(

Sorry to see him go. He was the hightlight of the films I've seen him in; hilarious performances.

For you sci-fi buffs, he was the old coot in Logan's Run.

Well that solves it!

I'm watching Spartacus tonight.

This is truly a sad day. He will be sorely missed.

Gotta love his cameo in the Great Muppet Adventure.

Ustinov: What are you doing here?
Oscar the Grouch: Just a small cameo.
Ustinov (to the camera): Me too.

This is one of those film star deaths that I think means something to me & will definitely have me watching this immensely talented man's work again.


Ustinov in Spartacus is one of the all-time greatest perfomances in film history IMO & one of my all-time favorite characters ever. Add his Oscar winning performance to the fact that he wrote a lot of his scenes. It's just one of those roles that embodies why one loves cinema. He was such a naturally funny man & truly brilliant & intelligent & witty.
