| Very sad. I've always thought so highly of her, starting with stage appearances in the 1970s in Pericles, Love for Love, The Member of the Wedding and Father's Day. Such a fine actress. | |

| Agreed. I first saw her in Member of the Wedding at the Kennedy Center, and she was a luminous, wiry, grounded Frankie, just about perfect. Then the Serban Cherry Orchard (my own first; life changing experience). Later, she scored in the most difficult role (to my thinking) in David Hare's very difficult The Secret Rapture. She still amazes me with every viewing as the most unsympathetic of the three troubled sisters in Allen's Interiors. Her fearlessness in tackling the gnarly inner lives of edgy, disruptive characters is unmatched. I always include her among those actors who refuse to ask an audience to love or even like them. I've missed her for the last decade, and now am sad indeed to learn of this dark turn in her life. | |

| Didn't see Crimes of the Heart or Benefactors. I later read Benefactors and was very sorry that I didn't see it. I remember her getting especially good reviews for it. | |

| And her Anya in The Cherry Orchard, and the title role in Trelawny of the Wells, both at the Vivian Beaumont. And the movie Chilly Scenes of Winter with John Heard. What a unique and beautiful light she gave us, over and over. | |

| You can also watch her delightful performance in the Phoenix Theatre's production of SECRET SERVICE with Meryl Streep and John Lithgow. It's on Broadway Theatre Archive. | |

| So sad & unfair...& along with her beautiful work on stage & film, Hurt did such fine work in an episode of one of the LAW & ORDER franchise which feels like it was not that long ago. | |

| She is indeed! Saw her in that a year or so after seeing her shine in CRIMES OF THE HEART...I remember my teenage self as so envious that she was Kevin Kline's girlfriend at the time, & was all the more curious to see her work!!!!! | |
