Sir John Mills RIP
BBC
Quote:
Sir John Mills, one of Britain's best-known and best-loved actors, has died at the age of 97.
Mills starred in more than 100 films since the early 1930s including Great Expectations, War and Peace, and Ryan's Daughter - for which he won an Oscar.
He died at home in Denham, Buckinghamshire, on Saturday after a short illness.
He continued acting until recently despite bouts of ill health. His only Oscar came in 1971.
Sir John, father of actress Hayley Mills, has been one of the UK's most enduring stars.
His family are travelling from the United States and are expected to arrive by Monday.

Re: Sir John Mills RIP
What a shame - he was a good actor and a gentleman too.
Hope they show some of his films now as a tribute.

Re: Sir John Mills RIP
The perfect English Gentleman!A phenomenal understated actor who was also extremely modest about his success.An actor I have always wanted to meet.
Another great actor gone.
