William Hurt dies, the most brilliant anomaly of the 80s
Due
to natural causes
.
An official statement has confirmed the death of actor
William Hurt
a week before his 72nd birthday.
If in recent years for Generation Z he was known for having played
Thunderbolt
in the Marvel Universe, the most veteran remember him for winning the Oscar for best performer for
Kiss of the Spider Woman
(1985) or
Children of a minor god
( 1986), for which
his girlfriend, Marlee Matlin
(56), would also win the statuette.
One of his sons, Will, has asked for
respect
for the hard times the family is going through.
Several years ago, the actor was diagnosed with
terminal prostate cancer,
but that did not stop him from continuing to work since he was currently
filming
the series
Pantheon
.
Famous for being one of the most important
chameleon actors
of his generation, around 1989 he decided to break with the Hollywood environment.
Before leaving the spotlight of the cameras, his great physical attractiveness and his interest in women made the
delight of the gossip press
.
During his first marriage to
Mary Beth Hurt
, he was unfaithful to the dancer
Sandra Jennings,
with whom he had his first son, Alexander, in 1982. By then he had already divorced and would soon be involved in a
legal controversy
when the young woman sued him to get alimony arguing a legal marriage.
The judge finally agreed with the actor.

Later he lived for
two years with Marlee Matlin,
who in her autobiography confessed
to the actor's mistreatment
and that their relationship had been sustained thanks to the abuse of a large amount of
drugs
.
In 1989 he married dance teacher
Heidi Henderson,
mother of his sons Samual (32) and William (31), but
they divorced
three years later.
The pain of that breakup was healed by the love of the French actress and director
Sandrine Bonnaire
(54), with whom he would have his only daughter, Jeanne (28).
The couple said goodbye in 1997.
Hurt was
passionate about French culture,
he had a perfect command of the language and owned a property on the outskirts of Paris where he used to hide from the madding crowd.
One of his great hobbies was
aviation
, so he did not hesitate to get his pilot's license like his colleague John Travolta and to buy a small plane.
He was a fellow student of Robbie Williams and Christopher Reeve.
