I was greeted with very sad news online this morning in reading of the passing of the actor Bob Hoskins. I completely agree with a writer who said she would miss his mischievous grin - and oh, that twinkle in his eye.
I haven't had a chance to see one of his best reviewed films, Mona Lisa, but I loved him to pieces in Mermaids with Cher and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It was bad enough when the news came out 2 years ago that he was retiring because of Parkinson's Disease, but I didn't expect that something else like pneumonia would take him sooner. I hope that he knew what a pleasure he was to watch.
