John Hurt, immensely talented, brilliant man.
Of his many films, I was most moved by his performance in The Elephant Man. Awesome. I watched this film in my mid teens and it still sits in my memory.
Also, a total surprise when he popped up as Ollivander in HP! Diagon Alley will never be the same.
RIP

I have come to the realisation that I have reached 'THAT' age.
All those we idolised as teenagers are, of course, a fair few years older than us and there will (unfortunately) be many more to follow.
What I find alarming is the rate at which they are departing this Mortal Coil.
