I know some posters think it is a bit naff to be sad about someone you don't know, but I did feel very sad when I heard the news. That voice...

Katedotness1963 January Man was the first thriller I watched as a kid and I loved Alan Rickman - as others have said he totally stole the show (especially at the end with the woman they were trying to save).

I agree normally I don't care really for people I don't know, MJ, Bowie, Lemmy, for example, but being interested a lot in Harry Potter I did have a little think, not as crazy and emotional as some people over random celebrity deaths but I did stop in my tracks for a while

Went with DD to see 'Sense and Sensibility' when it was first released. Audience was about 90% female; cinema packed. When he walked through the door and just stopped and looked at Marianne, a very audible 'Phwoar' went up -- just for a look...! Shock
What an actor - what a wonderful human being.... Sad

Thanks CaveMum, I adored that video at the time and had forgotten completely about it. Bittersweet to watch it again.

Rip Alan, such an amazing actor, and that voice! He's someone who would have you at hello

I walked into office at lunchtime and it was on the TV. I said OMG to the security guy (in shock) and explained!! that I had a real thing about him. Had no idea he was 69. Had assumed he was more like 57.

I saw him on the stage twice. Amazing.

That voice. RIP. 😢

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Savage Garden Truly Madly Deeply

Great song for a lovely man

Me too - sad. Loved him in so many things. Truly, Madly Deeply, Sense and Sensibility, as Snape, - such a good actor and as others have said, so very sexy. RIP.

Dashingly handsome and such a sexy man with a sexy voice. So sad. RIP Alan Rickman. Thanks

He acted Kevin Costner him off the screen in that Robin Hood movie I thought. I remember reading somewhere that Costner felt a bit aggrieved about it too.

Alan Rickman was a fine actor and always humorous, charming, dangerous, intense and veeery sexy!!! I miss him already.

Daniel Radcliffe posted a lovely tribute plus a funny photo from the Harry Potter set.
