Ma quanto è bello? E la sua voce? E la gentilezza? Irresistibile!!

[@notshetocastarz]

Purtroppo non so chi sia Richard Harris, ma credo di capire che si tratti di un autore o attore che ha lavorato nel cinema di Ken Loach, il fatto ch Daniel mostri di apprezzare questo cinema mi fa molto piacere. Il cinema di Ken Loach e il suo impegno sono grandi!

I never knew they had this award! He was such a stinker and not a giant of an actor, really.

Richard Harris was an incredible actor. Watch him in Cromwell.

@@Sophie_kent Well, he was a good actor, but everything I've read about him points to him being a sexist, rage-filled narcisstic. I talked to a woman who played opposite him on a road tour of "Camelot," one summer and he was either cruel to her or trying to screw her.

@@binklebabe4725 yes I’ve heard those stories. Watched his interviews Best ones are on letterman show. I’m not excusing his behaviour but it’s important to understand he was a man of his times. Today’s world he would have been cancelled. Everyone has to be the same and safe today. Also, Camelot was a very long and taxing production- some his meanness might have reflected that.

He was the most self deprecating person ever. How was he a narcissist?
And what do you mean trying to screw her?
