The Australian Betoota Advocate with the most fitting words on this sad, sad Monday.

The great staircase from "Possession" (1981) looks almost the same 45 years later.

Meryl Streep as Susan // Sam Neill as Lazar in "Plenty" (1985)

#sam neill #meryl streep #plenty 1985 #guess I'm knee-deep in the back catalogue of Sam Neill's films

#charles edwards #much ado about nothing #shakespeare love #I now have to track down Eve Best ;)

some interesting tidbits from yesterday:

his personal top three projects include: "The Rings of Power", "Holy Flying Circus" and "Strange Interlude"

looks like "Under the Vines" has sadly run its course as - according to Charlie - there won't be a chance for a new season ;(

his dad came to see him in Sydney during "My Fair Lady" and saw him in 5 performances back-to-back

he attributes his exit from "Downton" to the difficult scheduling of his scenes alongside his theatre work, even though he would have very much liked to stay on

Dame Maggie Smith took an instant liking to him when he walked up to her just before filming a dinner scene, introducing himself with "Hi, Dame Maggie, I'm Charlie!" (that's so him :D)

Watched "Until the End of the World" (1991) in the 4hrs 45min Director's Cut and on a really shallow note, in the history of cinema, no one wore a white cable sweater and horn-rimmed glasses better than Sam Neill.
