Every time I hear a story about Alan Rickman, I love him more and more and it makes me even sadder to know that such a lovely man is now gone.

He got the kids on Harry Potter, a load of games consoles & games so they could occupy themselves between scenes and so on. When they got older he gave them books on the things they were interested in; but he never let them know about it. Chris Columbus who directed a few Potter movies said,, after Alan died, that he didn’t want anyone to tell them where the gifts came from and let/make them think they were being given to them by the production company etc I did hear once Daniel Radcliffe say that Alan gave him the advice of: Never do something in film or theatre just because it’s what people expect of you, or assume you would jump at. Always pay attention to what is interesting, and never do a film just because it’s Oscar bait, or might win awards. Do it because it’s interesting, fun or maybe written/directed by a friend… I remember it quite clearly (may have got a few words wrong) but I remember it because in a general way, it’s good advice for life.

I grew up near Ruby. It was a Jewish neighbourhood and ythere were many 'survivors' of the holocaust. I never knew any parents like Ruby's. The all loved their children and gave them the best, not just materially. Ruby's parents were ghastly. I have her life story on Audible so she reads it. It's excellent! I met her. She's very nice. ❤

A truly admirable woman. I have heard her talk about her parents before and it is so tragic that the level of suffering that they went through ( and many like them) was directly turned on to their child as no therapy or counselling or possibly understanding was available so no help given. So so sad. However it takes courage, intelligence and therapy to completely turn it around and do what Ruby has and continues to do. Thank you for sharing.

But the petty way her father criticised her teeth for being to shiny doesn’t sound like it’s a result of trauma, but rather as coming from a narcissistic person. And didn’t she say they fled in 1938? Jews weren’t exactly treated nicely, but the death camps were still to come.

When i first saw Ruby Wax perform, i did not like her; her abrasiveness in her comedy was appalling to me. But over time, I have seen her segment on "Who Do You Think You Are?", and now this interview, and my opinion (which doesn't really matter to anyone but me) has shifted. Like most people, i have issues with my parents, as well as others from through out my life, but nothing as bad as what she describes. When she said, "My whole life has been an act of revenge.", it clicked with me. We are all give raw material to build a life out of; experiences and how we mentally process those events, and our lives can only be as good as the events and how we deal with them Ruby Wax has taken awfully circumstances and built something remarkable; it's not pretty, it is bitter and ragged, painful to behold, but it is strong and it has a beauty of its own; it's not the delicate orchid, it's the thistle, whose spike leaves and stem also bear a beautiful blossom.

I agree and can relate to what you say also, although I couldn’t have put it so eloquently. That line of Ruby’s stood out to me too in my own life however my reaction these days is much less resolute and one tends to shrink into the background instead in search of a quiet life. It would’ve been so easy for her (or anyone in that situation) to do the same so I really admire that.

@@ktpuss I now admire her courage. I, also, have a tendency to flee unpleasantness, instead seeking a quiet, calm life; but it seems that the world will not allow that to happen (unless one moves to remotest Alaska and the nearest neighbor is 200 miles away). Ruby Wax chose to stand up to the chaos inflicted upon her, but not all of us have her strength and courage. But, do we give up or do we continue on? It is a choice we each must make for ourselves. I live in an area of a large city that is not the worst, it has its share of homeless who have mental issues which they all too readily spew onto others. But, there are those moments of grace, though I get so caught up in my dramas that I lose sight of them. I wish there was a "one size fits all solution". But there is not. I am not a Buddhist, but I try to remember the alleged last words of the Buddha: " Let each work out their own salvation with diligence." In other words, life is the ultimate do it yourself project. I wish you joy in your journey.

So not only did my parents steal my childhood, the rest of society shuns me on a daily basis. I’ll be one of those people who dies at home alone and isn’t discovered for years. Thanks Mom & Dad!!

She had this way of making people so relaxed you got extraordinary insights into their lives you didn't expect to hear.

They were not very welcoming at all to her, which you would think would be the opposite in front of the cameras. I felt embarrassed for her. They were not only ghastly, but they were weird too. They were sitting on sofas that still had the plastic covers on them that would have been there when they were delivered. It's such a shame as Ruby is one of the most talented all rounders I have ever seen. any other parents would have been proud of her. It's their loss.

You realize after awhile we are all actors everyone has a part to play the good the great and the bad.

I was born and raised in Ruby's neighbourhood. 'Wax' is a common Jewish name. I never knew it was originally 'Wachs' until I learned it from Ruby. ❤

@@PeoplePlacesRocknRoll I read her autobiography & she made me laugh so much. Tragedy & comedy in equal measure. Her husband Ed Bye sounds like a lovely gem of a husband, she worked with him in the 80's & apparently they fought like cat & dog & when he wasn't on set one day she asked "Where is Ed?" & realized how much she actually liked him. They married in 1988 & have 3 children.

I love Ruby and I was a great fan of Alan’s too. I think she has overcome and is such an inspiration. I would have loved her as a good friend growing up. An extraordinary woman and an extraordinary life.

I used to love Ruby's documentaries. The dynamic between her and these often outrageous people would fascinate me.

I was locked out, and had many friends that were put out of their houses. I don't know about any other time, but it was an 80's thing in Baltimore, MD. It was real and not something any of us will forgive.
