Preminuo je redatelj Jonathan Demme, čiji Oscarom nagrađen film iz 1991. 'Kad jaganjci utihnu' s Anthonyjem Hopkinsom i Jodie Foster u glavnim ulogama, pamte mnoge generacije. Njegov je odlazak potvrdila glasnogovornica Annalee Paulo. Umro je u 74. godini života, od posljedica bolesti, raka jednjaka. "Jonathan je preminuo danas rano ujutro u svom stanu na Manhattanu, uz svoju suprugu Joanne Howard i troje djece", napisala je Paulo.
A God died today. Don Rickles, we did not want to ever lose you. Never. Hanx.

Jonathan Demme was a great artist, humanitarian, activist & a warm encouraging colleague. I've known very few like him. He will be missed https://t.co/wQv5QRqHoN
Deeply saddened by the passing of the most brilliant man - director, father, friend, activist. Devastating to let him go. I love you JD xT pic.twitter.com/aMFyHIIvCz
