We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the magnificent Sir Patrick Stewart, aged 86. With a distinguished Shakespearean career and beloved by audiences of all ages for his many unforgettable roles, he was one of Britain’s finest and most commanding actors.
We have had the pleasure of showing Tobe Hooper’s Lifeforce (1985), featuring Sir Patrick in one of his many memorable screen appearances.
A remarkable talent whose work will continue to be enjoyed for generations. He will be greatly missed.
