'Titanic' Actor Bernard Hill Dies

Actor Bernard Hill, best known for the movie "Titanic" and the "Lord of the Rings" films, has died. Hill began acting professionally in the 1970s. He was well-known on British television and films, but it was the 1997 film, "Titanic" that gave Hill greater international acclaim. Hill portrayed Edward John Smith, the real-life captain who perished with the doomed ship. Hill followed his "Titanic" success by playing King Théoden in two of the three Oscar-winning "Lord of the Rings" films.
