British Actor Alan Rickman has died due to Cancer at the age of 69.
Alan Rickman a very well known personality from television and films, mostly known for his Role of Hans Gruber in Die Hard and Professor Severus Snape in The Harry Potter Series was suffering from Cancer. On Thursday 14th January 2015 he breathed his last surrounded by Family and Friends.
Emma Thompson(of The Winter Guest) friend of Alan, had told The Guardian "Alan was my friend and so this is hard to write because I have just kissed him goodbye.
What I remember most in this moment of painful leave-taking is his humour, intelligence, wisdom and kindness. His capacity to fell you with a look or lift you with a word. The intransigence which made him the great artist he was – his ineffable and cynical wit, the clarity with which he saw most things, including me, and the fact that he never spared me the view. I learned a lot from him.He was the finest of actors and directors. I couldn’t wait to see what he was going to do with his face next. I consider myself hugely privileged to have worked with him so many times and to have been directed by him.
He was the ultimate ally. In life, art and politics. I trusted him absolutely. He was, above all things, a rare and unique human being and we shall not see his like again. "
RIP Alan. You will be genuinely missed.
