British actor Albert Finney, the Academy Award-nominated star of films from Tom Jones to Skyfall,has died at the age of 82. "He's the reason I am an actor," Finney said in 2012. In this 1970 file photo, Finney embraces his bride, French actor Anouk Aimee, after their registry office wedding in London. Britain's pre-eminent theatre critic, Kenneth Tynan, called the young Finney a "smouldering young Spencer Tracy" and warned established star Richard Burton about his prowess. Finney also earned his first best actor nomination for his efforts and the smash hit turned him into a Hollywood leading man.
