| Oscar Winner Minghella Dies at 54 LONDON (AP) — Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella, who turned such literary works as "The English Patient," "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Cold Mountain" into acclaimed movies, died Tuesday of a hemorrhage following surgery. He was 54. Minghella's publicist, Jonathan Rutter, said the filmmaker died at London's Charing Cross Hospital. He said Minghella was operated on last week for a growth in his neck, "and the operation seemed to have gone well. At 5 a.m. today he had a fatal hemorrhage." Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who became friends with Minghella after the filmmaker directed a Labour Party election ad in 2005, said he was "really shocked and very sad." "Anthony Minghella was a wonderful human being, creative and brilliant, but still humble, gentle and a joy to be with," Blair said. "Whatever I did with him, personally or professionally, left me with complete admiration for him, as a character and as an artist of the highest caliber." Jude Law, who starred in Minghella's "Cold Mountain," "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and 2007's "Breaking and Entering," said he had "come to value him more as a friend than as a colleague." --- Full Article: The Associated Press: Oscar Winner Minghella Dies at 54 News Source: Google News |
