Oliver Reed

(1938 - 1999)

 

Ollie Reed

 

A

n exemplary saint of the Church of the Holy Drinkers, Ollie was a notorious drunkard, a misfit in his chosen branch - the film industry - and, after his own fashion, a gentleman. After a long and drunken life he attained Nirvana, dying - suitably intoxicated, of course - in The Pub, Valletta, Malta. (Cardinal Casey turns green with envy every time he thinks of dear old Ollie...)
