biography
The textbook model of “sensitive leading man,” Oscar-winning actor William Hurt was a major player in 1980s cinema. Usually cast as the detached intellectual type, Hurt was easily at his best when playing characters who were damaged, either physically, emotionally or both. Reputed for his mercurial temperament both on and off the set, Hurt maintained somewhat of a contentious relationship with Hollywood for most of his career. Meticulously choosy about his roles, Hurt’s intense commitment to his craft bordered on piety and earned the star a reputation as “difficult.” Few would dare to question
