Tramite il messaggio del figlio Will, apprendiamo che l’attore premio Oscar William Hurt è deceduto oggi per cause naturali, nella sua casa a Portland in Oregon.
“È con grande tristezza che la famiglia Hurt piange la scomparsa di William Hurt, padre amato e attore premio Oscar, il 13 marzo 2022, una settimana prima del suo 72° compleanno. È morto serenamente, in famiglia, per cause naturali. La famiglia chiede privacy in questo momento”.
Nel corso della sua lunga carriera Hurt è stato nominato quattro volte agli Oscar, per le sue performace in: Il bacio della donna ragno (vinto 1986), Figli di un dio minore, Dentro la notizia e A History of Violence.
Agli Emmy ha ricevuto due nomination, rispettivamente per la miniserie Too Big to Fail – Il crollo dei giganti e Damages.
L’attore è recentemente apparso sul piccolo schermo in Humans, Goliath e Condor.
I had the great pleasure of working beside William Hurt in Too Big To Fail. Bill was a consummate professional. Continually searching for greater truth and human understanding. Blessings to his family and friends. RIP. pic.twitter.com/hOJPtPbVf9

William Hurt was a beyond brilliant film & stage actor, and then he went and guested on @TheKOQ and was so deadpan, low-key hilarious. “This is good cake. And I’m not a cake guy.” RIP pic.twitter.com/3CnnjZDmYz

Jesus.
This man, who I did not know but whose work I always admired, grabbed me at the Emmys the year after my father died and talked to me for 15 minutes about him and the importance of recognizing fatherhood in this life. I am still moved. #RIP https://t.co/EaHWHj2rxO

Honestly, I never saw a bad performance from William Hurt. Not once.
But if I had to pick one performance. Just one from a remarkable career.
It would be Broadcast News.
RIP William Hurt. pic.twitter.com/BLkVeqdIQE
