 RIP Richard Attenborough Richard Attenborough Dies at 90 Quote: The actor featured in classics 'The Great Escape' and 'Jurassic Park'
Richard Attenborough, whose career in film spanned more than five decades, has died at age 90, his son tells BBC News.
The actor featured in classics The Great Escape, Jurassic Park and many other titles.
He died at lunchtime on Sunday, his son told BBC News.
Lord Attenborough was one of Britain's leading actors, before becoming a highly successful director.
In a career that spanned six decades, he appeared in films including Brighton Rock, World War Two prisoner of war thriller The Great Escape and later in dinosaur blockbuster Jurassic Park.
As a director he was perhaps best known for Gandhi, which won two Oscars.
Lord Attenborough had been in a nursing home with his wife for a number of years, BBC arts editor Will Gompertz said.
He had also been in a wheelchair since falling down stairs 6 years ago, our correspondent added.
His family is expected to make a full statement tomorrow.

He had a stroke 5 years ago, was in a wheelchair and was in too poor health to have been able to be in it. Colin Trevorrow did tweet a pic of a statue of Hammond that's part of one of the sets.
