Alan Rickman has died!

Lovely, lovely man. Couldn't believe it when DS told me.

What a shock. I loved his voice, he was one of my favourites , he'll be sadly missed.

I'm very sad, too, as are my girls. I met Alan Rickman at the premiere of The Winter Guest and I was so overcome, I couldn't speak, he was so gorgeous! He'll be greatly missed.

I've loved him in his many roles. He had a wonderfully expressive face and a voice that could send shivers up my spine. In a good way. What a very sad loss to the screen and the stage.

A great actor and a great loss. Loved many of his films, thought he and Emma Thompson salvaged Love Actually from being completely turgid. We have lost two exceptional performers this week.

Loved his films, very sad he will be missed as a fine actor

Just logged on. Really shocked and saddened.

DH was at school with him, a couple of years below, and always said he based some of his characters on the masters. He will be remembered as a great British actor.

I've just remembered my favourite Alan Rickman film. An Awfully Big Adventure, based on the book by Beryl Bainbridge. A little known film but worth searching out. As always Alan Rickman was wonderful in it, very sad ending though.

I'm so sad, he was one of my favourite actor.

One of my favourite actors too those looks and that voice! My secret crush.
A terribly sad week. RIP and thank you Alan Rickman.

Another one bites the dust. Far too young to die at 69 (my age).

Yes an excellent actor and I can easily see why has so many admirers on GN.

DD2 sat beside him a few years ago at some theatre dinner and I was madly jealous. She said he was charming, witty and thoroughly nice. She had the sense not to depress him by saying her mum fancied him rotten!

Oh no, that is so sad. A wonderful actor and so darned attractive.

I often go on utube to hear him reading Shakespeare sonnets

Just been reading about this on mumsnet; they all loved him too.

I'm shocked and very sad. Such a great actor.

It's so hard seeing the stars of our generation fading away

He seemed such a nice man whenever I've seen him interviewed. Truly, Madly, Deeply was the first thing I remember seeing him in, too. I loved him ever after.

RIP

Very sad, a great actor.

Like nina I felt sure I'd read recently that he was ill, but I have no idea where I might have seen that.
A great loss to the thespian world. RIP Alan Rickman

Very sad news. He was such a good actor.

I agree Annie's not only a greatactor but a very attractive one. Rip

Well we finally agree on something anniebach

I too have lusted after him for years. Sexy and smouldering.

I loved him in Truly Madly Deeply with Juliet Stevenson.

A sad day.

My favourite actor and I confess I have lusted after him for years , so sad we will not see him again

RIP Alan Rickman and thank you

Ah no - that's so sad - I thought he was such a great actor. Well I guess that's the 3rd one - Lemmy, David Bowie and now this

Oh, not another one. It does seem that deaths come in batches.

Just seen it on the lunchtime news. What an awful shame. Such a good actor.
