Hello everyone! This email marks Issue #1 of an ongoing series I will be doing, entitled Actors, Actors, Actors! I thought it might be fun to kick things off with a favorite artist of mine.
Before we delve into the rich life and career of Bogarde, I’m thrilled to say this is the very first rambling of SophiaOnFilm. Here’s hoping there’ll be more to come. If you like this piece, please forward it to your loved ones. As Dirk always said, life is for living, enjoying, learning, and sharing that with others.
Without further ado…
Sir Dirk Bogarde (28 March 1921-8 May 1999) once described life as follows:
It’s not forever; nothing’s forever. It’s sandcastles. The tide comes down and they go. You spend days, years, building the wretched things, covering them with shells, seaweed and making it all pretty, building moats and finding driftwood for little bridges. I remember very well as a child watching them and seeing them go in the evening when the tide came in.
