<Sigh> Another one bites the dust. A major loss of talent this week.
"Paul Scofield, a commanding stage and screen actor indelibly stamped on
filmgoers' minds as the doomed philosopher-statesman Sir Thomas More in "A
Man For All Seasons," has died at age 86.
Agent Rosalind Chatto said Thursday that Scofield died in a hospital near
his home in southern England. He had been suffering from leukemia and died
Wednesday.
Scofield won an Academy Award and international fame for the 1966 film "A
Man For All Seasons," in which he played the Tudor statesman and author of
"Utopia" executed for treason in 1535 after cla****ng with King Henry
VIII."
