Theatre and film actor Sir Donald Sinden has died at his Kent home aged 90, his son has said. Sir Donald made his name on stage as a Shakespearean actor and also had more than 70 credits for film and TV productions since the late 1940s.
The Royal Shakespeare Company has said it is "saddened" to hear the news of the death of Sir Donald Sinden.
Sir Donald performed with the RSC in leading roles such as King Lear and Malvolio in Twelfth Night. His last appearance with them was as part of a special performance in 2007.
He also had more than 70 credits for film and TV productions.
Paying tribute Gregory Doran, RSC Artistic Director, said: "Donald liked to say that “Man cannot live by Bard alone”, and his extraordinary career outside the RSC in films, and television will no doubt be amply recorded elsewhere."
He added: "One thing of which you can be certain, is that all over the country this morning, people are regaling each other with one or other hilarious Donald Sinden anecdote, and that, alongside his great talent, is his wonderful gift to us all".
