Remembering Peter Sellers

Happy Birthday
Peter Sellers

(September 8, 1925 - July 24, 1980)

One of my favorite actors!  He was buddies with Ringo Starr of the Beatles.  They even made a movie together called The Magic Christian.  Funny movie!

I cried my eyes out when I heard the bad news that he died of a heart attack while making a Pink Panther movie (it eventually became a tribute movie to Sellers showing clips and outtakes named Trail of the Pink Panther).  Peter was up for an Oscar for playing Chance in Being There, but he lost to Dustin Hoffman in Kramer Vs. Kramer.
