William Hurt, the Oscar-winner star of "Kiss of the Spider Woman," "Broadcast News" and "Children of a Lesser God," has died. He was 71. Hurt’s son, Will, said in a statement to the Associated Press that Hurt died Sunday of natural causes. He said Hurt died peacefully, among family. The four-time Oscar-nominated actor was one of the most acclaimed stars and bankable leading men of the 1980s, starring as Vietnam veteran Nick Carlton in the all-star ensemble of 1983's "The Big Chill." Hurt earned Oscar nominations in three consecutive years — for his role as a prisoner in a Brazilian jail in 1986's "Kiss of the Spider Woman," 1987's drama "Children of a Lesser God" and as a TV anchor in 1988's "Broadcast News." He was also known for his Marvel Cinematic Universe work as Hulk nemesis Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross. 📸: @apnews and WireImage via @gettyimages.
