Sir John Hurt: Bafta-winning actor dies aged 77 - BBC News


John Hurt the actor in the movie 1984 dies just after the book is sold out on Amazon A pure coincidence but amazing how the two news items peaked in the same week. From the article: John Hurt was an unusual actor, instantly recognisable, yet never typecast. He seemed to take every part he was offered and make a success of them all. He was blessed with a distinctive voice, gravelly and honeyed, and a characterful face, which as the years passed grew increasingly lined and craggy - the legacy of his years as a hell-raiser. He was good at complex characters - at once confident and vulnerable, or arrogant yet sympathetic. See http://ift.tt/2kD38Rh
