[quote]LONDON — British actor Bob Hoskins, who was best known for roles in “The Long Good Friday,” “Mona Lisa” and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” has died of pneumonia at the age of 71.
His agent said he died on Tuesday in hospital, surrounded by family.
Hoskins was Oscar nommed in 1987 in the best actor category for crime drama “Mona Lisa,” in which he starred opposite Michael Caine and Robbie Coltrane.
He retired from acting in 2012 after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
In a statement, his wife, Linda, and children Alex, Sarah, Rosa and Jack said they were “devastated by the loss of our beloved Bob.”
“Bob died peacefully at hospital last night surrounded by family, following a bout of pneumonia,” they said.
“We ask that you respect our privacy during this time and thank you for your messages of love and support.”[/quote]
