LONDON -- Roger Michell, the British stage, television and film director whose movies include the hit romcom "Notting Hill," has died. He was 65.
"It is with great sadness that the family of Roger Michell, director, writer and father of Harry, Rosie, Maggie and Sparrow, announce his death at the age of 65 on September 22nd," said the statement released through Michell's publicist. On the big screen, his biggest commercial hit was "Notting Hill," the Richard Curtis-penned comedy about an awkward romance between a movie star played by Julia Roberts and a London bookshop owner, played by Hugh Grant.
But he largely made films in Britain, including "Enduring Love," based on an Ian McEwan novel, and "Venus," which gained Peter O'Toole an Academy Award nomination.
