McGill to award Plummer honorary degree for work

MONTREAL (CP) — Actor Christopher Plummer, best known as the grumpy Baron Von
Trapp in The Sound of Music, will receive an honorary degree from McGill
University on Thursday.
Plummer, a Montreal native, will pick up his degree at the Arts and Religion
graduation ceremonies.
Besides his role as the widower in The Sound of Music, he has garnered high
praise for complex, meatier roles like King Lear, Macbeth and Iago on the
Shakespearean stage.
A number of others are receiving honorary degrees from McGill during
convocation ceremonies, which began Monday and continue through June 6.
They include James Bartleman, a Canadian diplomat and the first aboriginal to
serve as Ontario’s lieutenant governor, and Pierre Jeanniot, the former
president of Air Canada and a civil aviation expert who was instrumental in
developing the flight data recorder.


Give your troubles to the Lord before you go to sleep; He will be up all
night anyway!
