Jennifer Connelly Releases Statement on John & Alicia Nash's Tragic Deaths
Jennifer Connelly is remembering the lives of John and Alicia Nash following their tragic deaths in a car crash this weekend.
The 44-year-old actress won an Oscar back in 2002 for playing Alicia in the movie A Beautiful Mind, which won Best Picture as well.
“This is a great loss. John and Alicia Nash were an inspiration and I have deep admiration for all that they accomplished in their lives,” she said in a statement to JustJared.com. “My thoughts are with their family.”
Russell Crowe, who was nominated for an Oscar for his work as John Nash, released a statement on his Twitter account right after the sad news broke.
