Happy Birthday Donald Sutherland



What a wonderful actor. My list of favorite Donald Sutherland performances is too long to put here but would have to include at the very least: Klute, Don't Look Now, MASH, Fellini's "Casanova", Bertolucci's "Novecento (1900)" (in which he played a truly loathsome character), Little Murders, Eye of the Needle, Kelly's Heroes, The Dirty Dozen, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and of course Ordinary People.

UPDATE: Found this interesting item on his IMDB biography: "Was so shocked by his own performance as the sadistic, perverse fascist leader in 1900, that he was unable to watch the film for years." Totally not surprising.
