London-Actor Albert Finney, best known to those of here at TDQ as Daddy Warbucks in the criminally-underrated 1982 classic “Annie,” died Thursday from a chest infection. He was 82.

He won an Emmy Award for his portrayal of Winston “Winnie” Churchill in “The Gathering Storm.” He also appeared in such TV programs as “Cold Lazarus,” “My Uncle Silas,” and “A Rather English Marriage.”

Besides rescuing Annie from rotten, alcoholic Miss Hannigan, he also appeared in films like “Erin Brockovich,” “Skyfall,” “RECOiL” and “Murder on the Orient Express.”

He was survived by his third wife, Penelope, and one son.
