Actor John Hurt died Friday in London at age 77. He described himself as an "old drunk," but had a successful half-century career, highlighted with memorable performances, two Oscar nominations, a Golden Globe and four British BAFTA awards. He was knighted in 2015, and was described as inspirational, legendary, incomparable. The wiry Hurt brought an uneasy humor to his character in Ridley Scott's "Alien," and is immortalized by his disturbing death scene.
