RIP John Hurt

Recommended Posts

Considering the length of his career, the huge respect he commanded as an actor and the fact that he was still appearing in recent movies, I'm surprised this seemed to go practically under the media radar.

Maybe it's to do with more important stuff happening in America at the moment - or maybe we've just reached celebrity death saturation point.

Same thing happened with David Bowie. I don't know if anybody knew he was sick until he died or just weeks or months before.

But it does seem that these celebrities prefer to keep their illnesses private and I fully support that.
