Minnie Driver is mourning the loss of her father, who has died at the age of 87. He suffered a heart attack in London. Minnie, who has been filming a movie in Scotland, put the production on hold to fly to the British capital when he fell ill.
The star turned out with her family on Wednesday for the London funeral and broke down in tears as she read the eulogy during the service.
Driver also took the opportunity to explain her decision to wear a bright red dress to the funeral, telling mourners:
“I am not being disrespectful. I am wearing red because my father always used to tell me that I was the kind of girl who would a wear a red dress to a funeral. So I wouldn’t want to disappoint you, Dad.”
How beautiful – but oh my goodness! I can’t stop crying with these posts this morning. First Brittany Murphy and now this one.
What a wonderful thing for Minnie to do and I am sure Ronnie had a laugh.
R.I.P.

Very sad…
RIP…
Very sad news.
Sad news. However he was 87. He had a good run. RIP
I dont want to seem unsensitive but i think it is a bit over the top that the author of this article was crying this morning cos of this post. Come on! This is someone’s father, it is not yours and he was old. it is sad whe someone dies but anyways, it is weird when someone is crying over someone she doesnt even know dad.
Very sad for her, but really it is nowhere in the same league as Brittany. The man was 87yrs old!
I think it’s still sad no matter how old he was.
