Fantastic performance in 1984 and Midnight Express

Boy was he good

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Great Actor!
One of my favorites!
He was a brilliant gem

I still miss you so much Sir John. Seasons come and go but I remember you and wish you were still with us to light the dystopian darkness of this world. You were beautiful and masterful in your life and art and my love for you is boundless and eternal. My dearest sweetest John, I adore you.

My most loved and cherished actor, for many years he gave so much to the film industry and much more. Missed so much, by so many.

I miss your presence in the world, Sir John. You were my very favorite actor and artist. I loved the music of your voice and the many facets of your talent. I admire many fine performers, but you were the gold standard. It is such an injustice to lose you and I miss you so much. For all that you gave us, I believe there were many treasures still to come. I love you, dear heart.

John Hurt was everything and gorgeous too. He could lead me anywhere with that face and voice and talent. He was the greatest actor of any generation and his death is a profound loss to art and life. Listen to his interviews to hear his intelligence and wit and humor. He brought all these qualities and more to his sublime work. He was transcendent, he was human and he was EVERYTHING.

You were my favorite actor
It was great meeting you in Ireland a few years ago
God bless and Rest In Peace
