William Hurt, the authoritative actor who won an Academy Award for Kiss of the Spider Woman and landed nominations for Children of A Lesser God, Broadcast News, and A History of Violence, has died. According to a statement shared by his family, Hurt died peacefully, among family, of natural causes. He had undergone treatment for cancer in the past, but no specific cause of death has been given. He was 71.
Hurt began his show business career as a theater actor in New York after he became a famous film actor. He didn't transition to Hollywood until the 1980s sci-fi movie Altered States, where he earned a nomination for New Star of the Year at the Golden Globes.
His performances in Body Heat, The Big Chill, and Kiss Of The Spider Woman earned him three consecutive Oscar nominations. In the 90s, he starred in Michael, Dark City, A Couch In New York, and Lost In Space, which made an impression on a generation of kids who saw that very weird movie.
He appeared in A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Tuck Everlasting, and The Village, as well as David Cronenberg's A History of Violence. He appeared on TV shows like Damages and Humans.
He is best known for his role as Ross in The IncredibleHundred, but he has also appeared in other movies, including Secretary of State in the MCU. The King's Daughter, a long-awaited fantasy film, was released before his death.
