R.I.P John Hurt
http://pagesix.com/2017/01/27/john-hurt-dead-at-77/
![]() Award winning actor John Hurt reportedly died on Friday after a battle with cancer. The 77-year-old actor, who starred in films such as “Harry Potter” “The Elephant Man,” and "V for Vendetta", also played in Doctor Who in 2013. passed away after suffering from pancreatic cancer, according to London’s Mirror newspaper. Hurt contemplated his demise during an interview he did in 2015 while fighting the disease. “I can’t say I worry about mortality, but it’s impossible to get to my age and not have a little contemplation of it,” Hurt said. “We’re all just passing time, and occupy our chair very briefly.” |

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
Great movie with Gary Oldman, Mark Strong, Colin Firth, Cumberbatch, Tom Hardy and John Hurt as the grizzled old spy running the circus. Great, great movie and Hurt is amazing in it.

Such a phenomenal actor that fortunately, lived a great and fulfilling life.
He had so many great performances that's it difficult to them single out but "The Elephant Man" was nearly unparalleled. If you've seen it, you'll understand and if you haven't, you need to see it, ASAP. "Alien" boasted maybe the best sci-if/horror cast of all time: Tom Skeritt, Sigourney Weaver, Harry Dean Stanton, Ian Holm and Yaphet Kotto. John Hurt's performance overshadowed all of them and set a new standard for sci-fi/horror films. RIP. |

Expect more celebs die. A lot of them are getting quite a bit older.

John Hurt should have won an Academy Award for best supporting actor for his role in the movie Contact (with Jodi Foster). Amazing performance.
