How Richard E. Grant has reinvented himself while dealing with grief

Richard E. Grant has enjoyed somewhat of a renaissance in his sixties due to several high-profile roles, his love of celebrity selfies and his surprise catwalk appearances.The actor, 67, who lost his late wife Joan four years ago, has had a long-running career since he first appeared as the inebriated title character in Withnail and I (1987).Subsequent roles included How to Get Ahead in Advertising (1989) and Dracula (1992) with steady TV and film parts throughout the noughties and 2010s.While he has always been a notable name, Richard's Oscar-nominated performance as Jack Hock in Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) shot him back to the forefront of the public eye, thanks to his witty and tragic role opposite Melissa McCarthy .The Doctor Who star's recent resurgence is a perfect example of how acting careers can have new peaks later in life, both artistically and in terms of recognition.
