Peter Copley died at age 93 on October 7th.

He was a wonderful actor — until recently the oldest working actor in Britain — and a great and close personal friend; and husband to my dear friend Shosh. He will be deeply missed.

His was also the face that graced my 1970 book “Stage Lighting”. I thank him again . . . dear Peter.

Many wonderful comments on his distinguished life include:
