PARIS - One of the few paintings by Vincent Van Gogh still in private hands, "Street Scene in Montmartre", was sold for over 13 million euros Thursday at auction after going on public display for the first time this week, Sotheby's said. The painting -- which emerged after a century spent in the same collection and has not been exhibited in public since it was painted in 1887 -- fetched 13.091 million euros ($15.414 million), Sotheby's said.

The painting was reoffered at the end of the sale in Paris after the auction house scrapped its initial sale earlier in ... » Learn More about Rarely seen Paris Van Gogh sells for over 13 mn euros

Christopher Plummer, the Canadian-born Shakespearean actor who starred in films including "The Sound of Music" and "Beginners," died on Friday (Feb 5) morning at his home in Connecticut. He was 91. "Chris was an extraordinary man who deeply loved and respected his profession with great old fashion manners, self deprecating humour and the music of words," Lou Pitt, his longtime friend and manager of 46 years said.
