William Hurt

A four-time Oscar nominee, the actor played charming, explosive leading men in 1980s classics like “Children of a Lesser God” and “Broadcast News.”

Hurt would continue working, on film, screen and stage, until his death, but he would rarely find a role as suited to his unique gifts as this one. He plays the role with grace and sensitivity, particularly a heart-wrenching scene in which he unexpectedly stumbles across a photo of his dearly departed; it’s one of the single finest moments of his acting ever captured on film. Hurt was such an intense personality and played hyper-serious characters with such skill that it was easy to underestimate his gifts as a comic actor. Such a role would be a tricky sell for most actors, but Hurt made it something of a specialty, and he excels here at not only making the character empathetic, but showing how the right person (Geena Davis, in an Oscar-winning turn) could break down those walls. But as Tom Grunick, the up-and-coming network news reporter who’s already being groomed for the anchor seat, Hurt had to both personify all that its idealistic protagonist (Holly Hunter) thought was dangerous, and be charming enough for her to believably fall for him anyway. Kasdan reunited with Hurt for his next directorial effort, an ensemble drama so culturally ubiquitous, its title became generational shorthand.

In a long-running career, Hurt was nominated for an Academy Award three times, winning for 1985's Kiss of the Spider Woman.

While he can create a powerful character when he wants to (as he did with Kenneth Talley in the original production of “Fifth of July”), he’s prepared to be fascinating without any help from a playwright.” “Maybe William Hurt has now been discovered by Hollywood (‘Altered States,’ ‘Eyewitness’), but he hasn’t lost any of that crazy intensity that makes him a joy to watch in the theater,” Mr. Rich’s review began. In 1981, Frank Rich, reviewing “Childe Byron” at Circle Rep for The Times, singled him out.

William Hurt, the Oscar-winning actor of “Broadcast News,” “Body Heat” and “The Big Chill,” has died.

After his torrid ‘80s run, Hurt fell increasingly out of favor with filmmakers in the '90s, and some reasoned that it was because of his reputation. "If a director tells me to make the audience think or feel a certain thing, I am instantaneously in revolt,” Hurt said. He received his fourth Oscar nomination for his small but potent role in David Cronenberg's 2005 thriller “A History of Violence." The New Yorker called him “notoriously temperamental.” In 1989, Hurt married to Heidi Henderson, who he met at rehab.

Hurt also had a daughter with French actress and filmmaker Sandrine Bonnaire, whom he met while making the straight-to-video 1992 Albert Camus adaptation “The Plague.” Hurt studied acting at Julliard and first emerged on the New York stage with the Circle Repertory Company. After “The Big Chill,” he returned to the stage to star on Broadway in David Rabe’s “Hurlyburly,” for which he was nominated for a Tony. There’s this odd thing that my acting is assumed to be this clamor for attention to my person, as if I needed so much love or so much attention that I would give up my right to be a private person.” “Acting is a very intimate and private thing,” Hurt told The New York Times in 1983. A New York court ruled in Hurt's favor, but the actor continued to have a strained relationship with fame. In Lawrence Kasdan’s 1981 steamy neo noir “Body Heat,” Hurt starred alongside Kathleen Turner as a lawyer coaxed into murder.

William Hurt, the acclaimed actor known for his roles in "Broadcast News" and "Kiss of the Spider Woman," has died. He was 71.

Hurt followed that with another lead role in “Gorky Park” and was part of the ensemble of “The Big Chill,” a drama about a group of friends reuniting that became a touchstone for the baby boomer generation. He earned raves for his work in “The Doctor” as an arrogant surgeon who undergoes a change-of-heart after experiencing health struggles, but other films such as “Second Chances” and “Until the End of the World” failed to generate much attention. The commercial and critical success of those films rocketed Hurt to the A-list, but he didn’t seem to relish the celebrity. But a year later, Hurt achieved a new level of prominence, appearing opposite Kathleen Turner in “Body Heat,” a steamy noir that updated the kind of treachery and double-crossing seen in the likes of “The Big Sleep” and “Double Indemnity” with a bracing sexuality. Hurt later transitioned into character roles in the 1990s and successfully alternated between big screen projects and television, scoring Emmy nominations for his work as a whistleblower in “Damages” and his portrayal of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson in “Too Big to Fail.” That was all a lead up to one of the most stunning periods of dominance ever enjoyed by a movie star.

In 2014, Hurt was on the scene of one of the worst on-set accidents in recent history. Miller got two years in jail and eight years probation. He went on to attend Tufts University, where he studied theology. Hurt was on the trestle but escaped unharmed. “It was simply impossible to imagine anything like that could happen. Hurt often worked with top-tier directors.

The following year, Hurt landed in Eyewitness and the cult neo-noir Body Heat; that film’s director Lawrence Kasdan and Hurt reunited in 1983 for the beloved boomer ensemble comedy The Big Chill. I oppose this idea that we have to vicariously live in the images of movie heroes who always know what’s going to happen next. Albert Brooks, who co-starred in Broadcast News as Hurt’s romantic rival, tweeted Sunday, “R.I.P. William Hurt.

Said his family in a statement: “The world knew him as an incredible artistic force, a vessel for his many characters, a shapeshifter with an unbending willingness to seek out truth in story, a hunger to peel back what has been forgotten in our humanity, and a passion for the ways that art can validate our living experiences. “I never explain my movies — it just ruins the emotion,” he told the Post. “I love saying that line. Of course, I did and do apologize for any pain I caused.” “That almost bland exterior in the opening scenes is what sets up the later emotional explosions, especially in movies like Altered States and Body Heat. “When Hurt goes over the top, he appears to have started from a quieter place, and so he seems to have traveled a greater distance than a Mickey Rourke or a Robert De Niro. Only Jack Nicholson is his equal at seeming utterly ordinary.” Only a little bit of the iceberg is ever seen, but it is massive. Winning the Academy Award was “very isolating,” Hurt told the Los Angeles Times in 1994. (The drama took years to get into theaters, and Burt Lancaster was originally set to portray Luis.) How am I going to walk into a room and have any other actor trust me?'” Hurt was married to Mary Beth Hurt from 1971 until their 1982 divorce. This was just a glorious opportunity to do the right thing.” (Christopher Reeve, his former classmate at the Juilliard School, had turned down his part.) “We had to say something about not just gay rights, but about feminine and masculine relationships and the nature of courage and what it means to speak truth to a power so much greater than you are,” Hurt said in 2015.

In the 1980s, the handsome, lanky blond star was nominated three years in a row for an Academy Award for best actor. “It’s not right that my privacy is invaded to the extent that it is,” Hurt said at the time.

His portrayal as a gay prisoner in South America in the 1985 movie "Kiss of the Spider Woman" earned him as Oscar as well as a BAFTA Film Award for best actor. Hurt played a variety of roles in classic 1980s films including "Body Heat," "Children of a Lesser God," "Broadcast News" and "The Big Chill." His most recent roles on screen included General Thaddeus Ross in the Marvel films "The Incredible Hulk," "Captain America: Civil War," "Avengers: Infinity War," "Avengers: Endgame" and "Black Widow."

In a long-running career, Hurt was nominated for an Academy Award three times, winning for 1985's Kiss of the Spider Woman.

He acted in numerous beloved and high-profile films, from Broadcast News to Tuck Everlasting. He played cerebral, conflicted patriarchs in Into the Wild and The Village, and made something of a late-career specialty in portraying professors, in movies such as A.I. Artifical Intelligence, Engdame and Marvel blockbusters such as The Incredible Hulk, where he found a new, younger audience as a military scientist who is the hero's nemesis. Playing a queer character imprisoned in Brazil along with a political activist, Hurt said in 2010 he made a point of thinking of his character as transgender, rather than gay. Later, Hurt would also be accused of physical abuse in a palimony lawsuit brought by dancer Sandra Jennings, the mother of one of his childre. "She was such a brilliant woman that she managed to work herself up from below the bottom rung of the Time Inc. ladder," Hurt said of his mother. On screen, Hurt could be genial or chilling, and sometimes both in the same film. Following a cosmopolitan childhood spent all over the world, Hurt attended a private boarding school in Massachusetts. His parents divorced and his mother remarried. Hurt studied theology at Tufts University before transferring to Julliard and making a name for himself in the New York theater scene. "He really is a woman. Hurt burst into movies seemingly as a fully formed leading man, and he came by his chiseled patrician demeanor honestly. He was twice divorced, from Mary Beth Hurt and from Heidi Henderson. He died peacefully, among family, of natural causes." He was born in Washington, D.C., to a father who worked in the U.S. diplomatic corps and a mother who'd become an executive of sorts for Time Inc. His parents, Hurt told WHYY's Fresh Air, met in China.
