OVER AT THE Facebook PCASuk Fan Page today, there is quite an impressive show of love and affection as we remember actor, JOHN HURT. Hurts career spanned six decades. He initially came to prominence for his supporting role as Richard Rich in the film A Man for All Seasons (1966). He played leading roles as Quentin Crisp in the film The Naked Civil Servant (1975), John Merrick in David Lynch's biopic The Elephant Man (1980), Winston Smith in the dystopian drama Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984), Mr. Braddock in the Stephen Frears drama The Hit (1984), and Stephen Ward in the drama depicting the Profumo affair, Scandal (1989).
HURT is also known for his television roles such as Caligula in I, Claudius
(1976), and the War Doctor in Doctor Who. Seventy Seven seems no age to
leave us these days. I think there will always be a very sizeable space,
left behind now that Hurt is no longer with us...it would take a very
considerable talent and skill, to even approach even the sides of that
space... 😉We Remember John Hurt today . .
