In extremely sad news, the legendary Irish actor Richard Harris succumbed
to Hodgkin’s disease last Friday, October 25, at the age of 72. Harris, whose
film career had spanned over three decades, is remembered as being something of
a hell-raiser who had mellowed out considerably since the late ’70s. Some of his
diverse films included This Sporting Life, Camelot, Mutiny on the Bounty,
Unforgiven
and Gladiator. He most recently played the long-bearded,
wizened Headmaster Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
He will be seen in the upcoming sequel, Harry Potter and the Chamber of
Secrets
, set to open November 15. According to reports, Harris took this
role because of a threat from his 11-year old niece, who said she would never
speak to him again if he didn’t.
