I had to comment on this p...Hi from Australia, Kay! I had to comment on this post as I've actually met the great man!! I was so in love with him after Robin Hood....I saw that movie at the cinema 12 times! In the end, they would just see me at the box office & say " one to see Robin Hood??" how embarrassing! I WAS much younger then....<br />Anyway, I went to a play he was in...he & the other actors gave a talk & Q + A session first and afterward I told him how much I - ahem - admired him. He was lovely & gave me a hug. Way before Harry Potter of course! He s in the original stage version of Les Liasons Dangereuse as Valmont. Very upset that the movie part went to John Malkovich ( although he was great) because Alan was the best ever. I've seen him in a great Noel Coward play too...Private Lives. You MUST see Sense & Sensibility...not just for him, it's a fabulous film all round. Plus try & get Truly, Madly, Deeply on Netflix or something if you can. One of his first movies...very British and absolutely amazing & moving if you haven't seen it ( or even if you have!)<br />My crush has subsided since I've found a wonderful real life husband! But I still think Alan is a truly remarkable actor & talent. Thanks for he trip down memory lane!Rachel Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294820106746562149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-76000214311341887072012-02-22T20:05:45.725-05:002012-02-22T20:05:45.725-05:00Well then...happy birthday to Alan Rickman.

I'm glad that you like Galaxy ...Dear Librarian,<br />I'm glad that you like Galaxy Quest too! I forgot to say that it isn't a children's movie, there are scenes not meant for children.<br />Richard does look very thin in this photo! I think he really isn't that skinny, he had taken that jacket and pinned it at the top so as he make it look like the one that Severus Snape wore in the movie.<br />He really towered over everyone in that bookstore and was a most impressive Severus Snape!<br />Oh, and our son loved hearing his Dad reading all his children's books when he was little. He let me read them too, but I ask you, which accent would you prefer, one that sounded like Alan Rickman or one that sounded like Dolly Parton? :-)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-72010670876716326952012-02-22T06:19:56.057-05:002012-02-22T06:19:56.057-05:00Dear Jane,

And I would bathe in that incredible voice all the time!<br />Yes, who does not love Alan Rickman for his voice AND his acting skill? Richard makes a convincing double, although he is a bit too skinny ;-) Galaxy Quest is a very funny movie indeed; I used to have it on DVD and then some years ago sold plenty of our DVDs to make room, and stupidly sold that one as well. I guess I'll have to get it again.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-46886656826123161962012-02-21T22:40:27.081-05:002012-02-21T22:40:27.081-05:00Also, Richard really does look like Alan!!Also, Richard really does look like Alan!!Jane https://www.blogger.com/profile/05368686874403775974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-74338002979535052252012-02-21T22:31:53.731-05:002012-02-21T22:31:53.731-05:00Hi Kay, I also love Alan Rickman!
