Reactions to the death at 91 of Oscar winner and "Sound of Music" star Christopher Plummer:
"The world has lost a consummate actor today and I have lost a cherished friend. I treasure the memories of our work together and all the humor and fun we shared through the years. My heart and condolences go out to his lovely wife, Elaine, and his daughter, Amanda." - Plummer's "Sound of Music" co-star Julie Andrews, in a statement.
"He was a mighty force both as Man and Actor. He was an actor in the 19th century meaning of the word-his commitment to his profession. His art was total, theater being a constant and the most important part of the totality of his drive to engage with storytelling. He was fearless, energetic, courageous, knowledgeable, professional and a monument to what an actor can be. A Great Actor in the truest sense." - Helen Mirren, who co-starred with Plummer in his Oscar-nominated role of Tolstoy in "The Last Station," in a written statement.
