How sad: Author Peter Ustinov Dies at 82

Actor, author, and raconteur extraordinaire Peter Ustinov died at 82. In addition to enjoying many of the roles he brought to life acting (in person or by lending his voice) and the wit of his writing, I once saw Sir Peter Ustinov hold court in a concert hall -- alone -- for 2 1/2 hours without reducing himself to coarseness of any kind. My cheeks hurt from laughing so hard and so long.

Were there more of his kind.
