Anyone in need of a quick web surf today should prepare themselves for a tear-jerker, as Google has unveiled a particularly nostalgic celebration of the life and career of the late Alan Rickman as part of its Google Doodle series. While largely known for his scene-stealing portrayal of Severus Snape in the Harry Potter film franchise, Google has remembered the anniversary of a different role performed by the beloved actor: his 1987 Broadway performance of Vicomte de Valmont in the play Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
According to Insider, the play — which debuted on this day 36 years ago and ran for 149 shows — was pivotal in launching Rickman’s career, and was responsible for his later appearance in a slew of blockbusters including Die Hard and Harry Potter. “Over the course of his career, Rickman received numerous acting nominations and awards and even directed three plays and two films,” Google Doodle’s accompanying description reads.
