Alan Rickman
, one of the best-loved and most warmly admired British actors of the past 30 years, has died in London aged 69. His death was confirmed on Thursday by his family who said that he died “surrounded by family and friends”. Rickman had been suffering from cancer.
A star whose arch features and languid diction were recognisable across the generations, Rickman found a fresh legion of fans with his role asProfessor Snape in the Harry Potter films.
Cast and crew on those movies were among the first to pay tribute to the actor. In a lengthy post, Daniel Radcliffe wrote that Rickman was “one of the greatest actors I will ever work with” as well as “one of the loyalest and most supportive people I’ve ever met in the film industry”.
JK Rowling, who wrote the Harry Potter books, said: “There are no words to express how shocked and devastated I am to hear of Alan Rickman’s death. He was a magnificent actor & a wonderful man”, while Michael Gambon, who played Dumbledore, said: “Everybody loved Alan. He was always happy and fun and creative and very, very funny.”

"You have your mothers eyes" You'd be lying if you said Snape didn't break your g.d. heart right then and there. RIP. -

Snape and Hans are all I knew him for, but those were huge parts of my childhood. Adding Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility to my watchlist. The artist dies, but their work is immutable.dkdnfbdjdkdddjdjfvcgfl, Cyreides and Guma like this. -
