Corrections to the Sam Neill Obituary
Our obituary of the actor Sam Neill stated that his mother’s birth surname was Ingram; in fact, it was Ingham. This error appeared in the 14 July edition (Journal, p10). Additionally, Neill was described as “the sweetly avuncular farmer in Rams”, but the film was released in 2020, not 2000 (A warm, wry and unselfish actor worthy of his international treasure status, 14 July, p9).
