Alan Rickman
Alan Rickman is best known for his roles in a few iconic movies. Many people will always think of him as Professor Snape from ‘Harry Potter’ while others remember him more as Hans Gruber from ‘Die Hard.’ No matter which role you recall more, it’s undeniable that Rickman is an incredibly talented actor – especially considering he didn’t book his first movie until age 41.
One of his final public photos was taken backstage at Hamilton with Lin-Manuel Miranda in early December 2015. Just a little more than one month later, he passed away from pancreatic cancer at 69 years old.
