Kino Eye: William Hurt, 1950-2022
I once met William Hurt, who died 13 March, at a director’s Q and A which I moderated at the Institute of Contemporary Arts. What I remember most is that after the Q and A he came up to me and thanked me for chairing the session so well. No one, director, actor, or whatever, had done this before, or has done since. Usually the moderator of these events is either ignored or complained about, as in “I had my hand up to speak and you ignored me!”. The gesture seemed typical of the man.
