Labels:text | screenshot | font | document OCR: In The Pink Panther, Niven starred as gentleman-thief Sir Charles Litton. Niven's sophisticated approach to the role added substance to the comedic narrative and set the stage for Niven to bring the character back in two sequels: Trail of the Pink Panther and Curse of the Pink Panther. While doing these last two films, Niven was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease. Unable to stand, he had to do all of his scenes sitting. He died from the disease in 1983.
