Actor Richard E. Grant will be visiting the Academy to discuss his new book, A Pocketful of Happiness.
Born in Swaziland (now Eswatini) in 1957, Richard E. Grant moved to the UK to pursue his acting career and has been a fixture since his breakout role in Withnail and I in 1987. When his beloved wife Joan died in 2021 after almost forty years together, she set him a challenge: to find a pocketful of happiness in every day. The result is this book.
Set between the present day and flashbacks to diary entries recalling landmarks from his remarkable life and career, this is a personal and profound memoir that celebrates and cherishes life’s unexpected joys. Funny, moving and perceptive, A Pocketful of Happiness is an insight into the life of a much-loved British actor.
Richard will be interviewed by Antonia Felix, Partner in the Private department.
