NEW YORK, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly fondly remembered her Labyrinth co-star David Bowie, who died at the age of 69 Sunday after a secret, 18-month battle with cancer.
"I met David Bowie when I was 14 and he became a hero to me -- because he was an artist, and because he was a genius who had the time to be kind," the 45-year-old actress said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly.
