759.0. "RIP Donald Pleasence" by ASDG::MCNAMARA (strange visitor......) Fri Feb 03 1995 15:13

Donald Pleasence, who breathed life into a series of odd and sinister characters
on stage and screen, died Thursday, Feb. 2nd. He was 75.

R.I.P., Mr. Pleasence...the stage and screen worlds will miss you, as will
you fans.

What's your defining screen memory of donals? Please feel free to post them here.

It is difficult to watch a channel liek AMC without seeing him in a flick, 
however most people my age will best remember him as the psychiatrist in
"Halloween".....(I'm 36).

RIP, Donals Pleasence.

	I mostly recall him as Colin the Forger, going blind, who was taken under James Garner's wing in "The Great Escape". I remember him also as Mr. President in "Escape from New York". :) kim
759.2		BUSY::BUSY::SLABOUNTY	Trouble with a capital 'T'	`Fri Feb 03 1995 18:14`	4
	He was the co-narrator of "Terror in the Aisles", the "movie" which featured snippets of a slew of horror movies.
759.3		SMAUG::LEHMKUHL	H, V ii 216	`Mon Feb 06 1995 11:19`	2
	"Barchester Chronicles" on the BBC and PBS, in which he played the distinctly non-villainous central character.
759.4		UHUH::MARISON	Scott Marison	`Mon Feb 06 1995 12:08`	7
	"Warrior of the Lost World" in which he played the head villian in a Mad Max type of world... he dies at the end only to survive when we find out that only his clone died... The only reason I know of this film is because it was on MST3K... /scott
759.5	Miss you, Doc!	DECWET::HAYNES		`Mon Feb 06 1995 14:19`	6

759.9		STKAI1::VAKTMASTERIT	duh	`Tue Feb 21 1995 09:16`	12
	My two favourites with Pleasence are dario Argento's 'Creepers' in wich he portraits a professor in a wheelchair with a monkey as a helper and 'Cul de Sac' by Polanski. Two very different performances. Henri.

	Was "Creepers" the insect movie with Jennifer Connelly?
