The only other time I remember was that one year where Patrick Swayze, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays and many others died. South Park even did an episode on it.

Billy Mays was a tough one to deal with.

RIP, Mr. Hurt. Elephant Man was a hard movie to watch, but his performance as Joseph (aka John) Merrick was an honorable tribute to the man. I like the part where he repeats the 23rd Psalm (the "I fear no evil" psalm).

I like that Aussie western The Proposition with Guy Pearce. That's the last movie of Hurt's that I can recall other than Vendetta.

Alien baby popping out of his chest was a memorable moment, too.

We're at the age when a lot of celebs we grew up watching are going to start dying off and we're stuck with these reality hobags who are all interchangeable.

A great movie adaptation of a classic novel. Hurt's portrayal as Winston was just as I imagined the character in the book.

You know it. A great Era of movies, sitcoms and shows is dying off with these actors and actresses.

btw, John Hurt was the original Aragorn
