It's the Academy Awards weekend - which will be forgotten next weekend! But to celebrate the fact that so many of my countrymen and women are nominated this year, I am posting this podcast of part of an interview I did with Richard Harris - the full text and Richard's life story are in my new book Richard Hazrris Raising Hell and Reaching for Heaven - in 1990 even before he was nominated for a Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in The Field. He gave me a new perspective e on the Academy Awards, especially when he said bluntly, "I don't give a f**k about Academy Awards. " But his best line, and a line worth remembering for any winner, is, "don't think just because you had one success that you know it all." A certain actor who portrayed Pfresley is already exhibiting that tendency, unfortunately!
