Mr. Attenborough was certainly a fine actor my favorite character was in Jurassic Park especially when he was talking to Wayne about his finances. It will be a pleasure to meet him when all those in the memorial will come out
What a grand promise is ahead of us.

I am so sorry about the loss of your dear husband and father. What a wonderful person he was! God cares so deeply about us that he has gone to great lengths to make the fulfillment of his promise a certainty (John 3:16) One of his promises is no more death. Another of his promises is that those in his memory will be brought back to life. May these promises comfort you.

When I first saw Mr. Attenborough's picture and his obituary, I immediately recalled watching him in "Miracle on 34th Street." He was such a great actor. I do not recall seeing "Ghandi" in its entirety so I plan to check it out from the Library this week. It would be good to reminisce his successes. May The Lord of peace grant the Attenborough family peace constantly in every way during your time of sorrow. Heartfelt condolences to you all!

My prayers, thoughts & condolences go to the family, friends & associates of the amazing Richard Attenborough. I have enjoyed all his films, both the ones he acted in and the ones he produced and/or directed. I especially remember his chilling performance in "10 Rillington Place." And his productions, "The L Shaped Room" and "Whistle Down the Wind" were wonderful and unforgettable films, as well. He was an billiant talent and his tremendous body of work will be his everlasting legacy. May he rest in eternal peace.

Richard was a true LEGEND of the British and Hollywood Cinema, whether acting in war, comedy or serious roles. As a director he was outstanding. Being knighted as a Lord and his long marriage were probably his shining moments in his life. But for millions around the world he will be best remembered for creating some of the greatest roles and films as director ever. Goodbye Richard and rest in peace
