Actor/director Keith Michell, probably best known for his TV and film portrayals of King Henry VIII, died today at age 88.



He also made several appearances on the television series "Murder, She Wrote" with Angela Lansbury, and was Don Quixote in the original London stage production of "Man of La Mancha".

The Guardian obituary

He was on my list.


Signor V.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
