To absolutely love Alan Rickman’s diary

[Endlesssummer2022]

I know I’m not being unreasonable at all. Made me love him even more. What a loss.

I read the article earlier, it’s a thing of beauty. His admiration for JKR is obvious, and I do like his comment about EW 😜

I can't wait for the book!

Oh wow
Thank you so much for sharing this

i loved the comment about Tony Blair and "My Way".

How utterly fabulous!
the NAMES! He knew EVERYONE!
the little snippets of conversation with JKR are wonderful - and I laughed out loud at the EW quote too

It's fabulous. Very funny and gossipy but also very moving when he talks about the death of actress Natasha Richardson.

Thank you for sharing this. It’s amazing! What a brilliant man! I didn’t know he turned down a CBE…

Thanks OP.

Just checked and his diaries with be on Audible on 4th Oct so we get to hear his wonderful voice reading them

Oh he was such a talent.

Accidentally had drinks with him at the theatre once, great company, modest, knew absolutely Everyone.

The narrator is listed as Tom E Burke

Fantastic news!!!

Thats the actor who plays Strike - he's Alan Rickman's godson.

I loved reading it but do we know he'd have been OK with it being published? It's very personal about a lot of people.

The bit about poor Natasha Richardson was particularly moving, he described her so well.

Oh that sounds amazing!

I didn't know he'd written any! How fantastic

He was SUCH a talent, I miss him so much. I hope he knew how much he was loved.

I read this today and honestly, I laughed and cried a bit.

And the DRAWINGS! Multi-talented people are amazing.

It’s absolutely fantastic. Never bought a thespian’s diary, but I’m buying this one. I have always loved him, but now …. Fancy he and Ruby Wax being bezzies too!

Meeee tooooo

Thank you for this! I had no idea.

Can anyone explain this bit:

"and Emma [Watson]’s diction is this side of Albania at times"

I've asked for this for Christmas. It's all I want! RIP, Alan Rickman, a great loss to everything.

I thought I knew the name! He has a great voice 😊

Oh I didn't see that when I searched for it on Audible. Looked again and still can't see narrator listed but I'm sure you're right.

Soz everyone!

Gosh, he was brilliant.

I miss him and his eyebrow.

It’s brilliant. I’ve had it on preorder for a while now. I did cry a bit reading the snippets from the article.
