Alistair Cooke has died. While I only ever heard a few of his famous “Letters from America,” he was the voice and face of Culture and Refinement as the long-time host of Masterpiece Theatre, back when it was first getting famous.

So, you’ll mention his passing, but not that of Jan Berry or Peter Ustinov?
Why, Dave, are you a snob? 😉
Hell — I heard about Ustinov yesterday, and forgot to post about it. Fascinating man. I read a few books by him, and his commentary track on Sparticus was keen.
Hadn’t heard about Jan. Sorry to hear about it.
I enjoyed Peter Ustinov’s last theatrical role as Frederick the Wise in Luther.
Another movie on my wanna-see list.
