You may recall that Chief Inspector Dreyfus (his character in the Pink Panther movies) had a cigar guillotine on his desk. Lom was clearly very interested in M. Guillotin enough to write a book about him, a novel entitled Dr Guillotine: the eccentric exploits of an early scientist (published in 1922) which was translated into Spanish and Czech.

I liked Herbert Lom a lot. He sure had a good long life, I assume it was good.
He was so great in The Ladykillers. He was a very talented and handsome man, but he seemed to have a real sense of fun about him.
Oh and Michael Clarke Duncan, so sad. He was way too young to die. I loved his deep voice. He was just recently a cast member oo The Finder and I'll really miss him.
