Rima Horton, wife of Alan Rickman: biography, career

One of the most talented and famous British actors, elevated to the rank of cult, thanks to his participation in the Potteriana, Alan Rickman throughout his life was surprisingly consistent in his actions. Here, also, Hormon lived with him about fifty years. The couple all supported and cherished each other.

How it all began

Rima Horton, wife, friend and firm shoulder of Alan Rickman, participated in the parliamentary elections, once was an active politician from the Labor Party. A little while later she even taught economics at Kingston University.

The meeting with the future spouse occurred at a time when Alan was studying at Chelsea, at the Royal School of Art and Design. He then wanted to become a graphic designer. At such a young age, Rickman was not yet able to perceive the profession of the actor as something stable. Therefore, thoughts of the stage and the big screen were present only in dreams. When young people met, Rima Horton She has reached the age of majority, she turned 18 years old. Alan was a year older. So they started dating. A chance meeting gradually developed into a great love that warmed them all their lives.

Like my mother

Rome Horton in her youth was an amazing beauty. Many men stared after her. But she gave her heart to one of the most mysterious personalities in Hollywood (at that time in the future) Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman. Who he was - an obsessive workaholic or the last odnolyubom - will argue for a long time. But for this woman he was the embodiment of mind, strength, masculinity, sincerity and immense love.

For Alan Rome, Horton was a reflection of his mother, whom he loved very much. He was only eight when father died of cancer. Mom stayed with four children in her arms. From that moment she became for Rickman the closest person. Until the end of the day, along with love for Rome, in the heart of Alan will live a warm affection for the mother.

She always helped her son and supported him, absolutely sincerely convinced that her boy has a special talent that will surely help him in life.

From designer to actor

Rome Horton in his youth, soon after meeting with Rickman, made an important decision to support his every endeavor and be in any situation on his side. Perhaps, it was such a strong spiritual unity that helped them to live together for so long.

She was with him even at that moment of choice for him, when Alan, despite some successes in the craft of a graphic designer, throws a not very fond handicraft and again becomes a student, because he decided to become an actor.

Rickman wrote a letter asking to audition for the Royal Academy of Drama Arts. He with distinction passes all introductory tests and gradually starts to comprehend all secrets of actor's skill.

Away from the hassle

In her younger years, Rimma Horton, whose biography is not as well known as her famous husband, met Rickman long enough. Their romance lasted about twelve years (since 1965), before they decided to live together, by one family. Spouses could be seen at many social events. But still they preferred quiet quiet life, which flowed away from the ordinary life of celebrities, from all the gossip and scandals.

They liked to be alone. The spouses never ran out of topics for long conversations by the fireplace. They could discuss anything and not bother each other.

Child's issue

True, the couple did not have children. So once firmly decided by Horton. Many years later, however, she regretted this decision, but age no longer allowed anything to change. But the husband at the very beginning supported her in the same way as she supported him in the decisions he took.

The once pesky journalists asked him a question about why it so happened that the couple lives without children. He replied rather sternly that this was a mutually accepted decision. But initially the kids did not want Rome Horton, whose filmography practically does not contain her work, because she never became an actress and spent her whole life teaching the economy. She was completely satisfied with their closed on each other, but at the same time, full of life and free from the carp.

Alan Rickman and his wife give all their unspent love to their babies to their nieces. They pamper them as they can, drive to museums, movies, theaters, try to walk with them more often. The actor is sure: if they had children with Rome, he would gladly allow them whatever he pleases; He would have been a weak-willed father, because he would have loved them without limit.

Such he was always, one of the great actors of modern cinema Alan Rickman. A family Was for him an island where he could rest from all adversity. For five decades, the couple went through life hand in hand.

Long-awaited wedding

Despite the fact that the relationship of the couple in love was fairly calm and stable, they did not hurry to enter into a marriage. Only last spring the media circulated information that Rima Horton and Alan Rickman officially became husband and wife. A little later the actor said this in an interview. He told reporters that the wedding ceremony took place in New York. In addition to the newlyweds on her, no one was there. They decided so. After the ceremony, they had lunch, and then strolled already as legal spouses. Rickman gave his wife an engagement ring, but Rome did not wear it.

Maybe it would seem strange to a common man in the street, but for many years the couple lived a normal life, despite the fact that Alan was megapopular. He did not even always attend the premiere of his paintings. Never, in any "yellow" edition it was impossible to find an article with gossip; There was not a single scandal associated with the fairer sex or with drink and drugs; There were no quarrels with colleagues in the shop, no ups and downs because of the zeros in the fees. For this, Rome has always been grateful to him.

Once the actors who collided with him on the set of the film "Mesmer" noted that Rickman is a wonderful person. Now such simply does not happen. And this is the true truth. He was a real gentleman, a wonderful family man, a very decent man and an ingenious actor. And all these wonderful qualities easily fit into him alone. Rome Horton not only loved her husband, but also respected him infinitely and was proud of him.

Until the death separates us...

A few months after the wedding, in the summer of 2015, they found out that Alan was very seriously ill. Doctors diagnosed with oncological disease. The forecast was very disappointing. But even in this difficult situation, Rome, like many years in a row, was the support and support for the beloved husband. She took care of him and was close to the end of his life.

On the Old New Year, January 14 this year, the actor Alan Rickman died of pancreatic cancer. Many still do not believe that Alan is no more. His wife, Rima Horton, was with him while his heart was beating. And later, at all the solemn events that were dedicated to the memory of her husband, she too was present.
