ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Michael Gambon, the Irish-born actor who drew acclaim from both audiences and peers for his stage and screen work, and who won even wider renown as Dumbledore, the firm but kindly headmaster of the Hogwarts wizarding school, in the “Harry Potter” films, died on Wednesday night. He was 82. Gambon’s family confirmed his death in a brief statement issued on Thursday through a public relations company. Gambon was born in Dublin, later becoming a dual British and Irish citizen. After he made his mark in London in the 1970s, he went on to play a wide range of roles, including Edward VII, Oscar Wilde and Winston Churchill. The breakthrough that led the actor Ralph Richardson to call him “the great Gambon” came with Gambon’s performance in Brecht’s “Life of Galileo” at London’s National Theater in 1980.
