The Grave Of Oliver Reed - Bill Sikes From Oliver
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 เม.ย. 2023
- Robert Oliver Reed (13 February 1938 - 2 May 1999) was an English actor known for his well-to-do, macho image and "hellraiser" lifestyle. After making his first significant screen appearances in Hammer Horror films in the early 1960s, his notable films include The Trap (1966), playing Bill Sikes in the 1968 Best Picture Oscar winner Oliver! (a film directed by his uncle Carol Reed), Women in Love (1969), Hannibal Brooks (1969), The Devils (1971), portraying Athos in The Three Musketeers (1973) and The Four Musketeers (1974); the lover and stepfather in Tommy (1975), Funny Bones (1995) and Gladiator (2000).
For playing Antonius Proximo, the old, gruff gladiator trainer in Ridley Scott's Gladiator, in what was his final film, Reed was posthumously nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in 2000. At the peak of his career, in 1971, British exhibitors voted Reed fifth most popular star at the box office. The British Film Institute (BFI) stated that "partnerships with Michael Winner and Ken Russell in the mid-60s saw Reed become an emblematic Brit-flick icon", but from the mid-1970s his alcoholism began affecting his career, with the BFI adding "Reed had assumed Robert Newton's mantle as Britain's thirstiest thespian".
Reed died from a heart attack during a break from filming Gladiator in Valletta, Malta, on the afternoon of 2 May 1999. According to witnesses, he drank eight pints of German lager, a dozen shots of rum, half a bottle of whisky and a few shots of Hennessy cognac, in a drinking match against a group of sailors on shore leave from HMS Cumberland at a local pub. His bar bill totalled a little over Lm 270 (almost £450; about US$590). After beating five much younger Royal Navy sailors at arm-wrestling, Reed suddenly collapsed, dying while en route to hospital in an ambulance. He was 61
years old.

And Oliver Reed appears to be still imbibing in the afterlife: a couple of years ago his son told a newspaper that nothing would grow on his dad's grave because visitors pour so much booze on it. Apparently The Grave looks like this because that's the way Oliver wanted it to be with no fuss
People seem to forget he was a very good actor indeed and not just a talk show joke
@@larry1824 If Oliver still alive would he have made a cameo appearance in Roman Polanski's version of Oliver twists back in 2005?
I met Oliver Reed in about 1982. He was tall and elegant in a striped blazer and bow-tie and was just a little bit drunk. He had a beautiful voice, and was polite and friendly and also extremely funny. A precious memory of a wonderful actor!
That's amazing a great memory to have Richard
don't think he was tall really
He truly did have a wonderful voice...a great asset for an actor, that.
He wasnt that tall, less than 6 feet as Im 6ft 2 inches and I towered over him, he liked a good drink and a good laugh,but he wasn't a tough man at all don't believe all them stories,he was a thinker that became sad when he thought about life and his past,he was very much a man that lived in the present and on his terms just like his mates Otoole,Harris,Burton,finch and Dylan Thomas.Acting was just a way for him to enjoy life to the full,he was very compassionate but he had Demons just like us all.I think he envied men like me,because we can "switch" off and we don't expect anything from life but these men being very artistic and intelligent over think life and they lose themselves in good times to numb the pain of reality,which is ultimately brutal.
@@GraveVisitations If Oliver had not been drinking so much I'd bet you anything James Cameron we've had him play captain Smith instead of Bernard hill.
Oliver Reed was one of my favorite actors, he had an intensity about him that could be seen in the roles he played. I was very happy to see his favorite pub and his modest gravesite, he got his wish to be buried nearby and that must have pleased him. RIP to Oliver Reed 🕊️
Yes i would have loved to sit down & have a drink with him
Loved him .xxxx
My friend used to be olie first wife's hair dresser and he used to drink in the dog and fox pub in Wimbledon village in London, she told me he was a right laugh and full of fun ,God bless him ❤🇬🇧
Hi Maggie that is very interesting. He seemed like a right character and lived life to the fullest
He was a talented man but drank himself into an early grave. It is so sad how many gifted people leave this life earlier than they should because of addiction.
George Best Another example
B.S. living long doesn't mean a good life, it's what you do with it is what counts. I'd rather live a short life full of parting and good times, eating red meat and drinking to exsess, than a long life of mundane bullshit eating kale and tofu. A friend once told me, life isn't a dress rehersal...you only get one go, and if you do it right...once is enough. On the time scale of the universe...who gives a shit?
Apparently your father was not an addict.. Inspite of that he marauder thru life wine,women and song. "No one hurt" as he lived his life. Yep 2 daughters and a wife hurt. One daughter a drunk who had and destroyed her 7 kids lives. Multiple car accidents with other people hurt and others property damaged and destroyed. Remorse heck no he and my sister bragged they did it their way . We won't get into the other kinder souls who had addictions and were hurt . So when you live as a victim of hedonism, addiction, selfishness and acquired victimhood due to failure to grow up, then maybe you have a platform. Some talented people take the gifts they have leaving a void they were supposed to fill. BTW I avoided addiction and have a career and enjoy life clean and sober.
What a beautiful place to be laid to rest.
The biography of Oliver Reed, 'Evil Spirits,' is well worth a read. He loved England, Guernsey, and Ireland (as your vid makes very clear). He had a great fondness for animals and the rural life. I think he vastly preferred hanging out with local, rural type people than the Los Angeles types. This may have bee a contributing factor to him not getting some bigger roles, but I don't see that as a bad thing. He clearly got a lot of joy out of growing vegetables, working with horses, and drinking in a humble pub.
I’ve read Evil Spirits! It’s a great book 👍
So is, 'What Fresh Lunacy Is This?' He was a wonderful man. A sort sadly no longer being made into this poor old world.
Oliver Reed was a great man and an inspiration of how to enjoy life.
He lived life to the fullest
To an early grave ????
So sad that he died at a fairly young age. But he lived life on his terms something not everyone gets to do. Nicely done GV! 👍👏
Thanks for watching hans
Rest in peace to a brilliant Actor ❤
Hi Joe he was great
Oliver Reed was a superb actor, a gentleman, a hell raiser and a kind soul, my first memory of him was watching him in a film called Hannibal Brooks, a life well lived, as he wanted to live it
Such a great bloke and THANK YOU for showing where he was laid to rest. RIP Oliver - Respect.
Thanks Steven for watching and rip Oliver 🙏
I love Oliver reed he is my hero God rest him
Hello Sheila regardless of people's opinions he was very talented
It was actually a friend of mine happened on Olivers grave and did a bit of weeding and cleaning up out of the goodness of her heart. R.I.P. Oliver.
Well done to your friend so thoughtful ❤️
There are two movies that always come to mind when i think of Oliver Reed, "The Shuttered Room" and "Oliver!" both are extremely menacing characters and well played by Mr. Reed.
Absolutely he could play the parts well
great performance by reed in the shuttered room one of is best films
Thank you Cathal what a down to earth man he was he wasn't afraid to be himself. And an amazing actor.
Juju thank you
Oliver Reed became 1 of my favorite actors when I saw him in the movie Oliver many moons ago. Watching him in Gladiator was such a thrill. Thanks for taking us on this journey. Loved seeing the Pub & his final resting place. ❤️👍👍👍
Yes I’m a sub, I always 👍 & let commercials run. 👍👍
Hi Diane thank you for subscribing and liking the video ❤️
I remember reading somewhere that Oliver's stag night was one for the ages that lasted 3 days and nights. He and his friends drank all night, slept, all day while the booze was replenished woke up and went again . Now I'm not certain the papers weren't exaggerating but it just adds to his legend. what an actor, what a guy , RIP.
Many times when they say he was drunk, he wasn't. A lot of it was done for the cameras.
Oh! I never got to see him older…. Still mighty fetching he was! ❤
Thank you for taking the time to do this, it’s appreciated. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
He certainly was!
Oliver was a super larger-than-life character and a great actor with a superb presence. I was shocked to see his gravestone was so basic but what's a lovely presentation? Great work and very intersting 👍
Apparently the local people told me that's the way he wanted his grave with no fuss
@@GraveVisitations Yes, I can imagine that It wasn't a flash guy
Thanks for this one! Learned so much about Oliver Reed that I didn't know. How good that his last wish was honored.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Oliver Reed is still my favourite English actor. Seen him first in the Trap....and love Him. Cheers to you Sir! Greetings from Toronto1
Hello Toronto 👋 greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
@@GraveVisitations So this resting place is in Ireland? Cheers from Toronto full of foggy /sticky sky....and early Summer as there is no greenery yet....weird,eh?
@@LeRoi715 this is Co Cork yes his grave is here 🇮🇪
I met him when he was in the 3 musketeers! Great and kind man
Lucky you 😁
I live in Malta and been to the bar in Valletta which is literally called The Pub where Oliver Reed had a heart attack. When I went in there I could feel his presence, I believe in spirits, it was a heavy feeling. I believe he visits there alot. Upstairs in The Pub they got a big room with tributes on the walls to Oliver Reed. If you ever come to Malta, you must visit there. 😊 Great actor he was. RIP Oliver Reed. 💔💔❤❤
"the bar" I believe it's called
I can't attach the screenshot I just did but yes type in The Pub Valletta and it'll come up 😊
Visited that pub in valetta a couple of years ago seen where he died photo's on walls nr where died still got photo's I took in the pub just off the main square.
I'd believe it
Oliver certainly believed in the spirits or may be the pints. I dont think he would have many regrets though
I loved this man. I know he drank a lot but he was an absolutely excellent actor.
Hi J yes he was very talented wasn't he. Played parts so well
@@GraveVisitations one of the best.
Yes he was a great actor & seems to be a very down to earth guy also, i remember him best for the Movie Curse of the Werewolf i think i was about 12yrs old at the time, God it scared the Hell out of me, lol RIP Mr Reed
I found him scary as bill Sikes 😬
I remember Oliver Reed from movies quite well, but I never knew he died! Oh my! Rest peacefully in Christ Oliver Reed.
🌹🙏✝️🙏🌹
❤️🙏
Really really great actor... in my view he is included in the golden age of film making .... One of my favourite films ( maybe my favourite ) is the Trap . May God bless him .. RIP great man , you are missed !!!!
Will be greatly missed Antony
Great actor and remained true to himself .
A legend
Rest In Peace, Oliver Reed. You will be remembered, always.❤🌹
An authentic talent, who was always convincing in his roles and a man who loved people and life. After reading his biography, What Fresh Lunacy Is This?, one will get a balanced view of the man. He packed more in his 61 years on Earth than many would do if they lived for 161 years. A true cinematic genius. RIP, Oliver. Your films will be watched for generations to come. Thank you for your cinematic brilliance.
Wonderful...I had the pleasure of meeting Oliver Reed. At that point in my life I was working as a Casting Director for a Greek Production Company. After the casting we all got steadily drunker...To this day I still don't know how I got home!!!!! He was a great character🥰
Lucky you lol
Great man, i wonder if he is still the same ole on the other side ,, Cant believe he was so famous and well loved / known yet his grave is bare, SO sad, forgotten so fast,,, Thank you GV for this awesome video
I spoke to a few locals who told me he wanted his grave like this with no fuss apparently
Loved Oliver reed great actor great man lovely video for him to be honoured
Thank you
I had one of my first movie dates in 1968 ( I was 13) to see “Oliver” around Christmas time. One of my favorite movies.
A beautiful memory ❤️
He went to the Great Country to enjoy life. Brilliant Actor. And Oliver happens to be my favourite...
Super movie one of his many good ones great actor rip Oliver
The Great Oliver Reed . So many memories come flooding back from the time I lived in Guernsey and on how he loved to shock people with his capers , On going to a wedding reception where neither my partner nor myself had been invited we sat at Ollies table with his wife Josephine . Opposite sat upon a chair was the present Ollie had bought for the newly married couple, a skeleton of a Bulls head complete with horns, and dangling off each horn was stick on ribbons , turns out he hadn't been invited either , what a crazy night that was , people would come to our table and raise a toast to the bull in acknowledgement ,when the festivities ended, he stood up did a grand bow to the bull and he and his wife left , ah boy, wild days indeed
Some great stories lol he was a character
What a beautiful peaceful place he was a great actor ☘.
Thanks for watching 🙏
God bless him. I always loved him as an actor and he was so handsome.
Hannibal Brooks has always been my favourite film ever since the 70's as a small child. And he was legendary as Bill Sikes in Oliver Twist. And it was well noted that the TV shows used to put alcohol in his dressing room knowing he would get drunk.
Howard he drank wherever he went I'd say
Oliver Reed I remember well. He was all Cinema in the 70's 80's 90s then. He loved his drink. Great actor I enjoyed his movies. I loved those times and the movies then. Thanks for the video. 👍
Hi B he was one of a kind wasn't he great actor. Thank you for watching 👍
I loved Oliver Reed movies from a very young age. What an actor RIP
Rest in peace Oliver Reed and I loved Oliver twist and it's was a lovely movie!!!!
Hi Charlotte a super movie brings back great memories
Thanks for sharing this GV. I did not remember he was in the movie Gladiator 😳 But I do remember him in the 3 and 4 Musketeers. And in Oliver! Seems like his character in Oliver! Was kind of scary 😨 Really great actor! RIP Oliver Reed! 🙏

I'm sure he is having a party up in heaven 🍻🍻🥃
Fantastic actor with a great rythmic voice, unique !
Great walk.
Tom, Belgium.
Thanks Tom he was talented
Oliver Reed once described himself as a true Royalist . He even remained in England although advised to dwell in a less tax greedy country , thus paying a lot of his hard earned money to the British govt. Sadly missed and a legend of a man .
Oliver Reed was a great actor, whenever he was on screen he took over he had a great presence, he should have made many more great films, he was a larger than life character, may he rest in Peace.🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️
He was a great actor he is mist so much loved him in his last film bless him ❤❤
The First film I ever saw Oliver Reed in was 1969's "The Assassination Bureau Ltd." It also starred Diana Rigg. It's still one of my favorite films.
Crossed paths with Oliver Reed on many occasions when i worked in Guernsey
Even had a few drinks with the great man.
Always charming eloquent boisterous and generous.
His story telling and jokes were a reflection on a life well lived
Hi Steve your one of the lucky ones to rub shoulders with the Great man a nice memory to have
@@GraveVisitations I was his barman at a small hotel in St Martins and insisted i joined him for double G & T,s for breakfast !!
An absolutely down to earth and fascinating man. I was just 24 and had been hitch hiking round europe for some time and he found some of my stories entertaining
Was saddened but not surprised to hear of his passing
You did a good job in your portrayel of the Man.
@@stevetame8969 thank you
Always reminds me of my dear Dad. He was a lovely man too❤.
Oh my gosh I think this is amazing. The historical facts about Oliver were very informative. I really liked this video GV. The little tour in the bar was a very neat surprise!! What a fabulous effort! Thank you kindly! ❤️🎸
Thanks licks n kicks x
Oliver’s drunkenness on chat shows was all an act. He loved hamming it up.
He didn’t believe he had a ‘drink problem’. He enjoyed drinking right to the end.
Yes you are correct. We were told this by a person close to him that this was the case. He did like a good drink but he wasn't addicted as has been stated.
As he had said to his friend, who wants pictures of a sober Oliver Reed. He did a lot for charity and they my expected him to be drunk. Sad what the media makes people become
A fantastic video, thank you! I lived in North Tipp for a while and always promised myself a drive to his grave but never did. This is good enough. Rest in Peace Mr Reed. You'd have been 85 this year. Just to add, 12:41 the boxer stood up is Henry Cooper, another British boxing legend. One last thing, during the 1982 Falklands Conflict it was reported, but maybe an urban legend, that Reed tried, at the age of 44, the reenlist in the British Army so he could go and fight in the conflict. He was turned down due to his age.
Hi thank you, I've never heard of the army story bout it sounds interesting. Cork and kerry have some beautiful places
Flashman was the film with Henry Cooper, I think he played Bismark. Fantastic actor, born in Wimbledon. My personal film favourite is the three musketeers. Thank you for showing us his grave.
I remember he was in the three musketeers and Tommy. I felt bad he died by a heart attack. I wonder what else he could of been in. Rip to him 😔
RIP. Unforgettable.
This was brilliant grave dear ole Oliver
I first saw him play Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, it was love at first sight! Never seen anyone play that part better
Great actor ollie was loved him in gladiator
Great video.. didn't know much about Mr. Reed. I seen him in a horror movie but the name slips my mind. He was very handsome. Rest in Peace Sir. 🎭🙏
Perhaps the movie was Curse of the Werewolf?
Hammer horror films saw them all. He was a good man and actor. I think we all have raised a little ruckus once in awhile. May He Rest in Peace❤️
❤️🙏
Rest in Peace Oliver 🙏
❤️🙏
Congratulations on 13k Grave🎉. Loved this actor! Shame he went so young😞💐🙏🏻. Thanks for the tour!
Thanks liz ❤️
I loved this actor but i didn 't know he lived in Ireland? Good choice!Oliver Reed to me was an outsanting man ! With a lot of talent as actor! He was also very humble not the big head! I have been shocked by seeing his grave ! To me he deserved much more! But perhaps as he was humble he did ask a simple head stone for his final resting place? Anyway thank you very much indeed for this very interesting video ! It's worthy! Rest in Peace Mister Reed ! You'll never be forgotten!!! A French Man ...
Bonjour Denis, yes as far as I know he wanted a simple headstone with no fuss etc. I loved him in gladiator he had that voice that could catch an audience. Thanks for watching please hit the subscribe button if you haven't already 🙏

Great Video thank you very much for doing it
My pleasure!
lovely little pub........wish i had met him.
HI GV that was a great story about Oliver Reed. Loved his movies such a pity that his Grave is not kept very well i actually know that place well lovely place to visit never knew about Oliver. Till now a1
I have always admired Oliver Reed’s work. Thank you for your time. It would have been nice to hear a few words from the Pub owner who kindly allowed the filming of her establishment!
Thanks for watching, the pub woman didn't own the pub she just works in premises. She actually didn't want to be on film or talk
Ollie Reed, top bloke Rip.
During the fire brigade strike in 1977 he would drive down at night to Dorking fire station in his pygamas with beers and food for the guys manning the picket line.
Didn't know that Steve kudos to him for doing that good deed 👍
Thank you very much GV, for a very informative video. I believe, he was in one of the 3 musketeers movies, many years ago. Nice, quiet, peaceful town, and graveyard. Cool looking pub, inside and outside. I really am not a drinking man, but if I were, I would not mind spending my free time in a place like O'Brians.
Thank you very much again GV, have a great day. 😊
Thanks Michael that pub was established in the 1800'S. I can see how he fell in love with the area
@Grave Visitations You are welcome, so can I. I can actually picture him, sitting in the pub, all warm and cozy with a good drink 🍸 watching a very bad storm coming down outside. Good job GV, thank you again. 😊
I love the beginning of the video; The piece to camera description of his own death.
I liked Oliver Reed a lot ❤….He was definitely a person you couldn’t miss in a crowded room…Such a handsome man wasn’t he…….I’m saddened to see his grave 😢
I watched a video of him yesterday when he was on the show called "the word" he sang wild thing and really got the crowd going lol
@@GraveVisitations I saw that too…..I mean the original….wasn’t he just adorable…..xx
Can't wait for this an extraordinary Actor
Great video GV,about a man who lived life to the full,quiet a nice pub too,safe travels and happy Easter from ballarat in Oz,👋👋🙏🙏👍👍🇦🇺
Thanks Peter
