Be still, my heart

A (far too short!) snippet of Alan Rickman in 1985 as Valmont in Les Liaisons Dangereuses with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I think I stopped breathing at some point. Also, note the side-eye at 2:06 lol!

That's some marvelous voice smut. I'm also a big fan of his recording of Sonnet 130.

What I would give to have seen him perform that role on stage. That was yet another costume that he made part of the character. He was as hot in white as he was in black! Thanks for sharing!

That would have been a thing to see...

This is one of the MANY stage performances I wish I could have seen. If I had a time turner, this is what I'd use it for -- going back and seeing the legendary shows I missed.

Some guy doing a CBS tribute mentioned this play and said, "It may be hard now to imagine Rickman as a Machiavellian seducer. . . "

Huh? In what universe and time would it EVER be hard to imagine that?

Thanks for the link; great stuff.

Lovely pieces again that you've posted. Also using this time since I'm posting today as tomorrow I won't likely be in to wish you an Early Happy Birthday! May it be a good day for you.
