Yet Another True Story About Stupid Studies:

So, Am I obsessed with death...

Or is it just the whole human condition? Yahoo! News - Oscar Winner Sir Peter Ustinov Dies at 82

Its a shame to have to find out how great a guy was by reading his obit. But that may be the case when you read about Peter Ustinov. From Nero to Poirot and back to Blackbeard's Ghost, this great actor could do it all with aplomb. I'll never forget his turn with Bogie and Aldo Rey in We're No Angels where his sardonic role as a murderer with a heart of gold - and a poisonous snake named Adolph - stole not only the show, but every single scene!

He also wrote several plays, movies and novels. Last but not least, he served as a very active Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF for more than 30 years.

Sadly I note that, as it seems with all people who achieve public greatness, his private life was less than wonderful, having been married 3 times and divorced twice, leaving 4 children by two different women and his third wife, as he passes to the celestial stage. Sir Peter, say "Hi" to Bogey, Aldo, and Adolph for me!
