I'm nearly half way through reading Evil Sprits: The Life Of Oliver Reed
and it's brilliant!! I advise people to go out and buy it!!!! I'm only
16 and first saw Ollie in Oliver! when I was 5 and just loved him
over the past years I have tried to see him in as many movies as possible!
He's such an inspiration to me, I have a passion for performing arts and
he still lives on in me willing me to do my best in what I do he's my hero!
Sure he's having a whale of a time doing what he loves best where ever he is
Ollie u rock!! R.I.P

Fave Reed films: The Musketeer epics, Oliver!, Tommy, anything with
Ollie really!
Fave item on website: At the risk of being a sycophant I love it
all, it's made my day...who said technology was a bad thing!
Comments: I was charmed and terrified by Ollie's performances on screen...God knows what it must have been like being in a room with him...we can but dream.
My father was a fan of the great man, and a week after Ollie's death my Dad fell off a stool down at his local and popped his clogs when his ticker gave out. I knew he wanted to meet him but this was ridiculous! When my sister and I heard this awful news we got some comfort from the fact that the old man would probably go and share a drink with his hero in the Pearly Gates Arms where they never call time. I know this is sentimental and silly and I'm not trying to encroach on the heartbreak that's left for Ollies' loved ones and family after the romanticism and myth evaporates, but suffice to say that was a bad week for me.....still, let's raise a glass and stop whining. The light that burns twice as bright will inevitably burn half as long.

Fave Reed films: I'll Never Forget What's 'is Name" is pointed
and funny and Oliver Reed is superb in it.
Fave item on website: The quotes because I love his sense of humour and awareness.
Comments:
I have always adored Oliver Reed, ever since I was a kid and I saw my
first Oliver Reed movie, The Trap. It really stuck in my head
and it formed a male type for me.
I may never have met him, but I surely miss him.

Comments: Mr. Reed was undoubtably one of the sexiest men that ever lived! He virtually seethed an erotic aura that is rarely encountered anywhere. And Ken Russell used it so well. His drinking brought it to the surface all the more. He certainly seemed to live for pleasure, and I admired his gusto. He was an unforgetable character who will be so sorely missed!
