Although he wasn't connected with the motion picture industry--although as a cosmetologist, he might have had a hand with British movie make-up--he was nonetheless an important figure in history. His book, "A Brief History of Time" is considered a classic.
He had been suffering for decades from that horrible, paralyzing sickness, ALS, also know as "Lou Gehrig's Disease". In fact, eventually he could only communicate by moving a cheek muscle attached to some kind of voice machine.
According to Wiki, his family has expressed their grief with the death announcement. Grief?? They should be rejoicing, as Dr. Hawking's soul is finally free from the prison of his body! Many years ago, I knew a man with Huntingson's Disease, and I saw his body slowly deteriorate. When he finally passed, I spoke with the nurse at the nursing home where he spent his last years, and we agreed that now his soul was free. Same with Stephen Hawking.
