  • Patricia met Richard Harris in Dublin's Berkeley Court Hotel. Richard was due to be in The Bahamas but had lost his passport, so he agreed to an interview providing it could be done within two hours. It was New Years Eve, but with help from the telephone receptionist at RTE we managed to get two cameramen, a lighting guy and a sound guy within an hour. thanks to Nick O'Neill. And we got a terrific result.

    Part of Richard Harris' charm was that he was so honest about his life and what he enjoyed. He enjoyed booze, women, and wealth and the excitement his success provided. I wouldn't never condone his lifestyle but he was a wonderful actor and storyteller who never hid his deeds yet remarkably down to earth. He was a combination of talent, unpredictability, intelligence, excitement, volatility, and danger which is what made him such a fascinating man.

    Probably one of the most interesting Irish men ever lived. On a par with Wilde, Joyce, Connolly. etc

    It's always amazed me how such a brute of man with a brutal intelligence could play such gentle, moving and sensitive roles. The sign of a great actor - and of brutal intelligence - I guess :)

    He was magnificent in The Field. Amazing man. There’s a plaque to him in The Coal Hole on The Strand in London where he drank in his final years when living a few doors down in The Savoy.

    He's Albus Dumbledore, until the very end. He's the one I see in my mind while reading the books.

    It's hard to amagin, Richard was never acknowledged in Hollywood Britain or Ireland, the cumplish tallented actor of his generation. Not even on the Hall-of Fame, down Hollywood Boulevard. Shocking.

      ​@@owengreene382I think Hollywood didn't fully acknowledge him cause he didn't kiss ass.....The suits find a brain and a mouth intimidating. True in all walks of life, work place.

    Harris long ago earned the right to sit any way he pleases, so far as I'm concerned, and could sit in a chair upside down and backwards for all I care. Besides ... chair sitting is a convention that is long overdue for a re-conception.

    It's a shame he, apparently put down Ian McKellen's acting. Ian's a fine actor. It was Ian who advised casting Michael Gambon for Dumbledore.

    • @eileendoherty5317

      I just saw Ian McKellen in London, and he put down Peter O'Toole's acting, which somehow seems so much worse.

      Really?? Wonder where his tapes are. Too bad he didn't get to write the truth about his own life instead of attention-seeking speculators spouting off shit like they actually know something.

      Hayley Crazyx that is the thing he does not give one flying fuck what people think about the way he sits ,or what he says, And no need to ask who does he think he is , everyone knows what he is , something you will never be able to say in relation to yourself 😂

      If you look at his body language at 3.28, when he 'rights' himself on the chair, he touches his mouth as he tries to find another Harris quirky way of slouching, before conceding to the conventional sitting posture. I think it's just a defence mechanism for Richard, to avoid the formal style interview to which he may not have been at ease with. Perhapes mistaken for an arrogant posture. I reckon the great man was an insecure control freak underneath the bravdo and relentless storytelling.
      Great Actor.
