PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN
(July 23,1967 – February 2, 2014)
One of the most talented and versatile artists of our era, Philip Seymour Hoffman, was found dead in his Greenwich Village apartment today: http://bit.ly/1kyZi60. The police has informed that Hoffman’s body was found with a needle in his arm and that a heroin overdose is the most likely causa mortis. This shocking premature demise (he was only 46) cripples cinema from one of its shiniest stars (similarly to what happened some years ago with Heath Ledger) – and will surely be mourned worldwidely by the admirers of his career.To remember some of the greatest moments of this life devoted to acting, here’s some of the highlights of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s artistic legacy (including download links)
