News Rutger Hauer: Blade Runner actor dies aged 75

[Notebook]

The star died in the Netherlands on Friday after a short illness, his agent confirmed.
Hauer played the murderous replicant Roy Batty in Blade Runner, which was directed by Ridley Scott and also starred Harrison Ford.
The actor's funeral was held on Wednesday.
Hauer's character gives a famous speech during a face-off with Ford at the end of Blade Runner, dialogue which he helped write himself.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe," he is seen telling Ford. "Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
Hauer is quoted as telling an interviewer his character - who had only a four-year lifespan - wanted to "make his mark on existence".
"The replicant in the final scene, by dying," he said, "shows Deckard [Ford's character] what a real man is made of."

He was a favourite of mine. Great in LadyHawke (but the hawk flying across the water was the best scene). RIP.

He leaves with such an impressive filmography and many other honorable lifetime achievements. This man lived the dream.
