A great actress who the media will just refer to as the Harry Potter and Downton Abbey actress, neither of which she ever watched as she knew they were crap but paid well.

They're already saying exactly that, ignoring the fact that she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

Rip to a great actress. Made her breakthrough in 'Hook', didn't she?

Kris Kristofferson, the award-winning country singer and actor who worked with Johnny Cash and Martin Scorsese, has died aged 88.

A representative said he passed away "peacefully" at his home in Hawaii on Saturday, surrounded by family.

The statement described Kristofferson as "a peacenik, a revolutionary, an actor, a superstar, a sex symbol, and a family man."

The multi-award winner was known for his songwriting, notably credited for Me and Bobby McGee, and Help Me Make It Through the Night, among others. He also acted in the hit movie A Star Is Born.
 
My wife and I once stayed at his house in Hawaii for a couple of nights in 1993. Kris wasn't there but his wife and kids took us in when we had no accommodation. They made us feel very welcome and it's a memory that we both treasure. RIP Kris. My heart goes out to his family.
