Goodbye to Alan Rickman

Oh my. If I have ever had a movie star crush it would be Alan Rickman. What a talent. And as Severus Snape? I guess I would be hoping to get sorted into Slytherin were I to attend Hogwarts. Well, maybe not truly since I love Harry so much, but that Professor Snape with his jet black hair and smirky pout. That's all I need to say.

I guess it was not publicized that he had cancer. I certainly didn't know. I remember being thrilled to hear he had married his longtime sweetheart, Rima.

Talent is a marvelously attractive thing. I did not know the man, but I loved him as the characters he brought to life. Was there any sweeter scene than that in Sense and Sensibility when Colonel Brandon stood at the bedside of a very sick Marianne? I will just go ahead and answer for us all.

No.

That is all for now.

    1. Yes. He was remarkably talented. Could be an amazing bad guy but could be so real and sensitive. Makes me so sad.
