“Is it safe to come out? Have those angry Star Trek people finally gone home?”

Michael Anderson
Director, actor, British Canuck.
January 3-, 1920 – April 25, 2018.
Aged 98 years.

Most recognized for: Mr. Anderson directed “Around the World in 80 Days,” a big-budget cameo fest that took home 5 Oscars, including Best Picture in 1956. He also directed the sci-fi cult classic “Logan’s Run” in 1976. And for all you Star Wars nerds out there, the climax of his 1955 war film “The Dam Busters” was blatantly (and admittedly) ripped off by George Lucas.
