NEW YORK — William Hurt, whose laconic charisma and self-assured subtlety as an actor made him one of the 1980s foremost leading men in movies such as “Broadcast News,” “Body Heat” and “The Big Chill,” died Sunday. He was 71.
“He died peacefully, among family, of natural causes,” his son Will said in a statement. The Hollywood Reporter said he died at his home in Portland, Oregon.
