Actor William Hurt, Oscar winner for the 1985 film "Kiss of the Spider Woman", has died at age 71. Prostate cancer was apparently the cause of death. Hurt came to the fore as a popular leading man in the 1980s with roles in films such as "Altered States", "Broadcast News", "The Accidental Tourist", "Body Heat", "The Big Chill", "Children of a Lesser God" and "Kiss of the Spider Woman" in which he played an imprisoned transvestite. Hurt's trademark was his low-key charm. Some critics griped that he lacked charisma, but his choice of early film roles resulted in his being nominated for Best Actor Oscars in three consecutive years. Equally at home in stage and TV productions, in more recent years Hurt had appeared in a number of superhero blockbusters including "Avengers: Endgame", "The Incredible Hulk", "Captain America: Civil War", "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Black Widow".
