I was watching Smiley's People last night and up popped AR as Mr Brownlow, an obliging receptionist at the Savoy. Blink and he's gone..
His Valmont is one of my Desert Island performances, quite unforgettable - I'm so glad I managed to see him a couple of times in the role.

No, I’m afraid not: I already have plans that night: I imagine tickets have already sold out, they went on sale to BFI members on Tuesday but were on sale to BFI Champions the day before (I’m still pissed off about the shambles of booking tickets for the London Film Festival for the last few years so not rushing to give them money for events like this to be honest)

Here you go Frappers, this was the very first play I saw Alan Rickman in (not the first time I'd seen Harriet Walter though).

From Diaries: 6 October 93 Sitting in front of a mirror all day. However much I look at my face under such circumstances I never sell the full horror that photographers manage to capture. How do we edit that out? I rake my features looking for all the bumps, cavities and lines that litter the contact sheets...

Miriam Margoyles autobiography: Speaking of contracts brings up another Harry Potter story which I heard directly from Alan Rickman. He played Snape, and his charismatic presence on screen made him the most powerful character in the series. The final very long book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was being filmed in two parts. Warner Bros decided that both parts would be filmed together-and therefore he was only due one fee. His gifted agent Paul Lyon Maris pointed out that if the film were separately released, warner brothers would receive two incomes. Therefore Alan Rickman should also get two fees for appearing in both parts. Warner brothers refused and said they would have to recast. Recast Snape? Alan smiled. "Go ahead" he said. The day before shooting was due to start on part two, they agreed to pay Alan both fees. You do wonder sometimes about the mental acuity of Hollywood moguls

You do wonder sometimes about the mental acuity of Hollywood moguls Hollywood moguls are really good negotiators and deal makers so in my view this anecdote doesn't reflect at all badly on their mental acuity but does suggest Margolyes is somewhat naive.

From Alan Rickman's Diaries: Maggie Smith and him laughing on the HP set. "Plus Maggie's stories of the Ladies in Lavender premiere: 'Miriam Margolyes looked like a Sherman tank in sequins.'"

Alan Rickman on Michael Jackson:
2003 8 February Watching Martin Bashir’s documentary on Michael Jackson. Disgraceful, self-serving journalism. How much did that cost? Compare MJ’s actions with those of a million pederasts & paedophiles a day or the thousands of kids dying daily in South Africa from Aids. Make a film about that with your concerned face.

From his diaries:
These kids need directing. They don’t know their lines and Emma [Watson]’s diction is this side of Albania at times
