Google has honoured the late British actor Alan Rickman with a doodle on what would have been his 75th birthday. Rickman, who passed away in 2016, is best known for his iconic roles in movies such as Die Hard, Harry Potter, and Love Actually.
The Google Doodle features a black-and-white sketch of Rickman in character as Professor Severus Snape from the Harry Potter film series. In the background, a scene from the movie is depicted with a silver doe, a reference to Snapeโs love for Lily Potter.
The doodle was created by Lydia Nichols, an American artist based in Los Angeles, who used a combination of traditional and digital methods to produce the artwork.
Rickman was a renowned actor who received critical acclaim for his performances on stage and screen. He won a Golden Globe Award, an Emmy Award, and a BAFTA Award during his career, which spanned over four decades.
He was also known for his work as a director and producer, and for his support of charitable causes, including the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and Save the Children.
Rickmanโs legacy continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world, and the Google Doodle serves as a fitting tribute to his life and work.
