Zoë pays tribute to Alan Rickman: 'He was a kind of colossus'

Zoë has paid tribute in the Guardian to her late friend and colleague, Alan Rickman, who has sadly died of cancer aged 69. She praises him as 'a kind of colossus', who was 'funny, smart, kind, generous'.

Zoë recalls working with the 'fearless' Rickman on the tremendously successful 2001 film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, as well as much earlier in their careers, namely at the Royal Shakespeare Company. They both starred in the RSC's 1978 production of Captain Swing, which explored the nineteenth-century Swing Riots. The photo above shows Zoë, Rickman and other cast members on stage.

You can read Zoë's full tribute, alongside many others, on the Guardian's website.
