A Classics Farewell

Film directing legend Ken Annakin, passed away in his home on Wednesday. He was 94.

Annakin directed many projects including Swiss Family Robinson and such WWII classics as The Longest Day and Battle of the Bulge.

Annakin was also directed six episodes of Walt Disney's "Disneyland".

The British director received the Order of the British Empire for his contributions to the British film industry in 2002.

So favored was he, that American director George Lucas named the character "Anakin Skywalker" after the film giant.

The legendary director is survived by his wife of 50 years, Pauline, and daughter, Deborah.
