Sad news indeed. The heart transplant was news to me, and quite a lot of other people too apparently.

Gosford Park was marvellous, as anyone with an iota of good taste should know .

I heard about the transplant during the Oscars earlier this year. From the article on CNN.com:

When he received his honorary Oscar in 2006, Altman revealed he had a heart transplant a decade earlier.

"I didn't make a big secret out of it, but I thought nobody would hire me again," he said after the ceremony. "You know, there's such a stigma about heart transplants, and there's a lot of us out there."
