David Seidler, childhood stammerer who won an Oscar for his screenplay for The King’s Speech – obituary

  • David Seidler, the screenwriter, who has died aged 86, was inspired by his experiences of struggling with a childhood stammer to write the true story of how King George VI overcame his own crippling speech impediment with the help of Lionel Logue, an Australian speech therapist, to give his first radio speech after the outbreak of the Second World War.

15 Years Later, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley And More From The Cast Of 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End'

No one could have predicted that a movie based on a theme park attraction could attract multiple theme parks-worth of movie-goers into theaters around the world and spawn a massively successful, long-running franchise. However, that accurately describes the success of Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies -- starring Academy Award nominee Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow, "Lord of the Rings" star Orlando Bloom as William Turner, and Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann. The trio would reunite with the main antagonist of the first film, Geoffrey Rush as Capt. Barbossa, but this time as an ally in what was initially said to be the third and final installment of the franchise. A decade-and-a-half has passed since the "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" cast (also including Bill Nighy as Davy Jones, Naomie Harris as Tia Dalma, Chow Yun-fat as Sao Feng, and rock star Keith Richards as Jack's father) gathered for the high-seas adventure's world premiere.
