Remarkable, charismatic artists. David Bowie had a special place in my, back in the 1980s teenage-, heart.

Bowie represented San Francisco in the 70s, sexy in all ways, and very, very hard to relinquish. Rickman was a favorite actor with that voice that flowed from warm honey to a steel stiletto, perfect diction paired with wicked intelligence. He made every character memorable and totally his. I had watched 'A Little Chaos', the second film he directed and starred in, just last weekend, and bought Bowie's 'Blackstar' on his birthday so their work was so fresh and vivid that I couldn't believe the news at first. The only bright side is a 'direct quote' from the late Alan Rickman on his  Facebook page. He quips that he's on his way to a Bowie concert -- and we're not :)  Anonymous on "*" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/david-bowie-and-alan-rickman-too-much#post-1602502 Fri, 15 Jan 2016 17:54:45 +0000 Anonymous 1602502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've been smitten with him ever since I saw him in Sense and Sensibility.  So I'm heartbroken at his loss.  I like to think that he and David are having a nice chat over some martinis in the great beyond.

Two BIG names that died in one week at the age of 69, and to Cancer. Life is too short.

If you ever get the chance, watch him in Robin Hood (playing the Sheriff of Nottingham against Kevin Costner's Robin Hood). It's a master class. Poor Costner didn't stand a chance. There's quite a backstory to the film...Costner was either Director or Producer and did whatever he could to edit Rickman's scenes - professional jealousy I expect. Like Kerry I loved Truly, Madly, Deeply as well.
