Actor Alan Rickman died of cancer on January 14th 2016, so today is good time to start a thread on him. So far he has only been appeared on here as Snape in the Pigs thread.
His death in January 2016 just four days after the death of David Bowie and by cancer at much the same age generated many posts on the old CC Forum. Many have cross-references to Bowie and other topics of interest. I will salvage what I can.
Alan Rickman had one final Christmas and New Year, and would have seen his 70th birthday if he had lived around five weeks longer.

Alan Rickman and a Lazarus connection
Dying a few days after David Bowie is not Rickman’s only connection with him.

Remembering Alan Rickman
Today is the 4th anniversary of Alan Rickman’s death. He will always be remembered as Professor Snape, but he did have other roles! He directed a film called A Little Chaos (2014) in which he also played Louis XIV. He doesn’t seem very suitable for the part to me. The film did not get good reviews.   He also played the angel Metatron in the 1999 film Dogma:
