Today we remember the passing of Sir Alec Guinness, famous British actor most known for one of his final roles: Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars films. I certainly enjoyed him in that role, but my favorite of his performances was Colonel Nicholson in the movie The Bridge on the River Kwai. He won both an Oscar and the BAFTA Best Actor Awards for that role.
Sir Alec received many awards and many more award nominations. See his Wikipedia biography here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alec_Guinness#Awards_and_honours
Here’s today’s haiku:
Thank You Sir Alec
Your acting career
lasted over sixty years –
your art continues
Life Matters 
I remember him best in The Ealing Comedies, especially The Lavender Hill Mob. Showing my age I suppose, my parents generation post WW2

I can imagine you saw much more of his work in England than we did in the US. Truly a great artist in all media.
