Class #5: (The Guardian Article) Goodbye Mr. Hoskins, you had a good run...

Due the recent death of the English actor Bob Hoskins caused by Pheumonia, I decide to make a summary of an article of The Guardian about him. And because I'm a Journalist, every news article has something to do with my career

But the main reason I choose this topic in partucular is because I love movies and this is my way to pay homage to this form of art.

The Name of the article is: "Helen Mirren on Bob Hoskins: 'A spectacular firework just as it takes off'" and it has 5 pictures of Hoskins acting in movies related to the 3 respondents and it's divided in 3 sections for everyone of them. (I'll put the link to the end of the post)

The article describes the point of view that worked with the actor during his life and describe their experiences and personal thoughs about him. The respondents are: Helen Mirren (British actress who worked with Hoskins in" The Dutchess of Malfi" and "The long good friday"), Shane Meadows (The director of Twenty Four Seven starring Hoskins) and Stephen Woolley (Producer of Neil Jordan's: Mona Lisa also starring Hoskins)

Mirren described Bob as a great actor and person who worked hard and showed a ton of energy in his performances. She said that he was very supportive while they were working on "The long good friday" praising his humility and pointing out that was an honor work with him.

Meadows praised his generosity for agree to work in his first feature film, but also the lessons about bussiness and the advices about being honest to himself. With the sucess of Twenty Four Seven, Hoskins and Meadows travelled to New York to promote the film. The director related how the actor refused to go beacuse Meadows was relegated to third class by the film company.

Woolen talked about the actors that he admirde the most during his life in Islington in the 60's in which he mentioned Bob as a man who performed "straight from the soul" and he opened the path to a whole new generation of actors with his performances.

And that was my post and tribute to Mr. Hoskins... I hoped you like it and as I promised, here's the link... take care...
