The Telegraph Magazine – February, 2001

Here is a picture of Richard’s wife Joan (first on left) from The Telegraph Magazine BAFTA Issue. Most of the magazine is devoted to BAFTA – how BAFTA (the organization) has emerged from the wings to take center stage, and how it will at last rival the Oscars.

The introduction states that the magazine employed Lorenzo Agius to take photos. 79 people in 20 different locations – which he did in 10 days. Therefore all photos were taken last month.

The group picture, which you can see here, was called The Specialists – (Joan – voice coach), a costume designer, a costume supervisor, production designer, hair and make-up designer and an agent.

And here’s a picture of Richard from the same magazine. Details of Richard’s photo were printed under the heading – The Charmer. The article states:

“Richard E Grant was a desperate, out-of-work actor when he landed the role of a desperate, out-of-work actor in Bruce Robinson’s cult 1986 comedy, Withnail and I, and an anti-hero was born. Loved as the archetypal English fop (The Portrait of a Lady, The Scarlet Pimpernel), Grant was in fact born and brought up in Swaziland where, to his delight, no one knows him “from a bar of soap”. His collaboration with Robert Altman (LA Story, The Player, Pret-a-Porter) continues with his role as George, the slippery footman, in Gosford Park.”
