Paul Scofield dies

The good ones always go in threes it seems and this week, Britain lost three of the very best.
Paul Scofield, one of the greatest actors of a generation has died aged 86. He won a well deserved Oscar for his performance as Thomas More in A Man For All Seasons, the rolde he is still best remembered for.
David Paul Scofield, CH, CBE (21 January 1922 -- 19 March 2008)

There's one clip of him performing Salieri here on KZbin and it is a transport of anguish. Between the music, Schaffer's writing, and Paul's supreme artistry, nothing is left to explain about how Art interacts with the human.

Burton said that, of the ten best performances he had ever seen, Scofield was responsible for eight.

Thank you for posting this, imposible to see out of Britain. It seems a beautiful village; "a son of Sussex", yes, and Sussex must be proud of his son, rest in peace.
