Peter Ustinov fell off the twig tonight - sad - I had a fondness for him

He was - as he noted proudly in his autobiography "Dear Me" - conceived in Stalingrad, USSR, baptized in a village near Stuttgart, Germany, and reared under a succession of Cameroonian, Irish and German nurses.

Ustinov made some 90 movies and also wrote books and plays, directed films, plays and operas. I remember particularly his narration of Tchaikovsky's "Peter and the Wolf" and as Hercule Poirot

And how could anyone forget Batiatus, owner of the gladiator school in Spartacus

I assume that "falling off the twig" is a bad thing?

pops off usually relates to death, so yes I assume it's a bad thing

Really sad. He was a good actor and an entertaining person (I went to see an audience with peter a few years ago where he talked about his life and told stories).

thanks for the pic of Hercule, doc

No problem ... thought you would have got a greater response, though I suppose he has been a bit quiet the last couple of years.
