Pete Postlethwaite Dies At 64


Pete Postlethwaite died yesterday. I had just watched him, over the holidays, in “The Town.” Steven Spielberg called him “the best actor in the world”, after working with him on Jurassic Park sequel “The Lost World.” Postlethwaite reacted to the praise with deprecation: “I’m sure what Spielberg actually said was, ‘The thing about Pete is that he thinks he’s the best actor in the world.'” Above: Pete with Daniel Day-Lewis in “In the Name of the Father.”
