Grant emigrated from Swaziland to London in 1982, with dreams of making it as an actor. Unexpectedly, he met and fell in love with a renowned dialect coach Joan Washington. Their relationship and marriage, navigating the highs and lows of Hollywood, parenthood, and loss, lasted almost forty years. When Joan died in 2021, her final challenge to him was to find a "pocketful of happiness in every day." This honest and frequently hilarious memoir is written in honor of that challenge--Richard has faithfully kept a diary since childhood, and in these entries he shares raw detail of everything he has experienced: both the pain of losing his beloved wife, and the excitement of their life together, from the role that transformed his life overnight in Withnail and I to his thrilling Oscar Award nomination thirty years later for Can You Ever Forgive Me?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Grant, Richard E., $d 1957- 600 10 $a Grant, Richard E., $d 1957- $v Diaries. 600 10 $a Grant, Richard E., $d 1957- $x Marriage. 650 0 $a Motion picture actors and actresses $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Motion picture actors and actresses $z Great Britain $v Diaries. 650 0 $a Married people $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Married people $z Great Britain $v Diaries. 650 0 $a Lungs $x Family relationships $x Patients $x Family relationships $v Diaries. 655 7 $a Diaries. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 10 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710064233.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022507.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011950.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20231226011529.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20231212011138.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230906010428.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230906010125.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230902011707.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230902010554.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230805010239.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6122A2A2335511EE8BFEB64C44ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
