someone's torched it to clear the lot -- probably one of my clients

 

The world woke up this morning to headlines saying William Hurt had died.

He was 71.

He starred in one of my all-time favorite movies, a film noir called Body Heat.

Under the NYT obituary one reader commented, "If he never made another movie after Body Heat that would be enough to cement his reputation."

B. Heat director Lawrence Kasdan talked about making the 1981 movie -- how he got a call from studio brass that they should remove Hurt's mustache because, "it makes him look sleazy."

        Kasdan was like, "Uh-huh."

        The mustache stayed.
