DESERT ISLAND DISCS: CLASSIC DESERT ISLAND DISCS - DONALD SUTHERLAND (320kbs-m4a/78mb/34mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 1st September 2024
Sue Lawley talks to actor Donald Sutherland in a programme first broadcast in 2000. Donald Sutherland died in June 2024, aged 88. He has acted in 104 films, including such classics as MASH, Don't Look Now and JFK. Tall and lanky as a child, he was called 'Goofus' or 'Dumbo' because of his big ears. However, it was those ears that caught the attention of the director of The Dirty Dozen and thus his film career was launched.
Now appearing on the British stage for the first time in 36 years, he chooses eight records to take to the mythical desert island.
