File Under 'Excess', Part Five

Here be hell-raisers!

Richard Harris
Job Actor (Unforgiven, The Wild Geese, Harry Potter).
Vice Harris was permanently ‘refreshed’ throughout the 1960s, as were his hell-raising actor buddies Peter O’Toole and Richard Burton. He quit drinking in the ‘80s but started again in the ‘90s, claiming that life was simply too short for abstinence. He was also a coke head until he discovered that cocaine was, in fact, a narcotic.
Greatest ‘Feat’ Convinced Charles I’s execution was a breaking news story, an unhinged Harris had to be heavily sedated.
Price Of Pleasure Died of Hodgkin’s Disease aged 72.
