4. Because of Alan Rickman's death,

[sarge43]

5. We older women too

Opening night at the theatre, a late supper of scrambled eggs, bake and champagne .... That melt your bones voice thanking me for a lovely evening.

He was a bit of all right and one hellva fine actor - a true professional.

[Laffy Kat]

6. You DATED him? For real?

Tell, tell, tell, tell!

[sarge43]

7. I wish; but just a scene from my over active mind theater

Dear Alan was true to the love of his life - Rima Horton. They were together for nearly 40 years.

I image a date with him would be elegant.

[Laffy Kat]

9. Had me goin' for a minute there.

[In_The_Wind]

13. As Skittles would say ... yes indeed.

[Skittles]

8. I honestly did not know who he was

yes indeed

[sarge43]

10. You should check out some of his roles

He could do it all. Evil sob to snarky angel to yearning lover.

[femmocrat]

11. Me neither.

I looked him up and I've never seen his films. Maybe he was a bigger deal in GB.

[niyad]

14. you saw NONE of the harry potter films, at least?

[femmocrat]

16. I saw the first one.

But I don't remember him. I'll have to jog my memory I guess!

[niyad]

18. oh, yes, please do!! he was, of course, professor severus snape, potions master and head of

slytherin house.

[MissB]

12. He played a good villain.

I really don't like Bruce Willis but Alan Rickman made Die Hard worth watching.

[DFW]

17. In "Quigley Down Under," too

Tom Selleck was the main role, but Alan Rickman stole the show.

[roody]

15. I still don't, but I read about him in something by Rachel Corrie's father.
