William Hurt is likely one of the last big names joining Ridley Scott's revision of the Robin Hood (current title) legend. HR reports that Hurt has joined the cast to play the Earl of Pembroke, William Marshall, a historical jouster of the era. He would be joining the feature cast which includes Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Vanessa Redgrave, Mark Strong, Scott Grimes, Kevin Durand, Alan Doyle, Oscar Isaacs and Lea Seydoux. Actress Marlee Matlin has written a new book in which she claims she was once in a physically abusive relationship with actor William Hurt. The pair co-starred in the film "Children of a Lesser God," for which Matlin won an Oscar in 1987 - she was the first deaf actress to win the award. Matlin and Hurt met while making the film and began a romantic relationship.
In her book, "I'll Scream Later," Matlin describes a turbulent and violent courtship and one abusive fight in which she claims Hurt threw her on a bed and ripped her clothes off while she sobbed, "No, no, no. Please Bill, no." In an interview on Access Hollywood, Matlin told host Nancy O'Dell, "I was always afraid ... of him, but i loved him." The two dated for two years. Matlin told O'Dell she had new bruises every day.
