Notes on Christopher Plummer

"[The theater] is a selfish profession. You can't avoid that. She [daughter Amanda Plummer] came from a real broken home, because both her mother [actress Tammy Grimes] and I weren't there for her, really. She does [love both of us], I don't quite know why, but she does. Maybe it's the best way to love a parent, to love in the mind's eye and not the real thing." - Plummer quoted in The New York Times, Sept. 15, 1997

In 2001, he received the Canadian Governor General's Lifetime Achievement Award.

Inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame in 1986.

Invested as Companion of the Order of Canada (the country's highest honor) in 1968.

Received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts at Julliard School of Performing Arts (1993).
