Smith enjoyed a long career on stage and screen, winning two Oscars, a Tony, four Emmys, five Baftas and three Golden Globes.

Not a bad lifetime achievement.

Some contrast between the two above. A 89 year old who had a successful and long life and an 18 year old just starting out in a promising career.

The one thing about him that sticks out is when they passed him off as Gerald Ford. Dont really recall him in anything else. BHC was such a good film though. Second one too.

The latest one on Netflix is actually decent.

Amazingly he was only mid-30 when he originally played Taggart!

One of the greatest songwriters ever.

And while he wasn't blessed with a brilliant voice, he was still an excellent singer and performer.

All round good person too. And a Rhodes Scholar. And army pilot. Bit of a Renaissance Man.

Stood by Sinead when she was being booed offstage for calling out the crimes of the Catholic church.

A good man.
