Best known as King Théoden from the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, Hill was 79
Bernard Hill has died. Per Variety, his agent, Lou Colson , confirmed Hill’s death with no cause given. Known for highly dramatic and consequential roles in several of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters, Hill died at the age of 79 with his fiancée and son by his side. Born on December 17, 1944, in Blackley, Manchester, England, Hill hails from a strict family of Catholic miners who were bewildered by his chosen occupation.
Not all of the movies Hill starred in won Oscars, but starting with Gandhi, he became a good luck charm. If his movie was nominated for an Oscar, it won several. Gandhi won eight; Titanic and Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King won 11. In 1997, director James Cameron cast him as Titanic’s Captain Smith. For a film swimming with iconic moments of doomed gravitas, his slow walk to the ship’s wheel as the supposedly unsinkable ocean liner sank ranks among the most tragic.
