Alan Rickman died agen 69 which was confirmed by his family.
He had been suffering from cancer.

I've heard celebrities die in threes... First David Bowie, then Alan Rickman... Who's next?

This was so sad.. He was awesome ..

I liked almost everything I had seen him in. For me, I will always remember him most for Die Hard and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. He made for a great villain in both.

He was completely brilliant in all his films, but I have a special place in my heart for his performance in Galaxy Quest. He was so dang funny.
