Actor John Hurt Battling Pancreatic Cancer

Actor John Hurt, who among his many roles played Mr. Ollivander in the Harry Potter films, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Hurt released the following statement to People magazine:


"I have always been open about the way in which I conduct my life and in that spirit I would like to make a statement. I have recently been diagnosed with early stage pancreatic cancer. I am undergoing treatment and am more than optimistic about a satisfactory outcome, as indeed is the medical team. I am continuing to focus on my professional commitment and will shortly be recording 'Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell' (one of life's small ironies!) for BBC Radio 4."
