Title: Peter Sellars dies
Post by: Tremayne on February 19, 2009, 03:49:58 PM
I wish he had made more movies later in life. Seems like he did the Pink Panther movies, Dr. Strangelove--and then he's gone.

Guys I just want make sure we are talking about the same person. The Peter you are talking about is spelled Sellers and died in 1980. The one that is spelled Sellars is an American theater director.

THIS Peter Sellars looks like he could be Kramer's brother.

or a relative of Lyle  Lovette

Yeah I was a little taken aback by this thread.  I felt like the guy that was in a car explosion in 2007 and woke up in 1973

don't do that to me I'm an old man.

 :-[ That's what I get for just reading headlines--and not keeping track of how people spell their names. Great memories here though.  :)
