Alan Rickman The Man Who Always with us

Alan Rickman was born in West London on 21 February 1946,
to a working-class family, the son of Margaret Doreen Rose a housewife, and Bernard William Rickman.
Rickman's father was a factory worker, house painter and decorator, and former World War II aircraft fitter.
When he was eight years old, Rickman's father died of lung cancer, leaving his mother to raise him and his three siblings mostly alone.
According to Paton, the family was "rehoused by the council and moved to an Acton estate to the west of Wormwood Scrubs Prison, where his mother struggled to bring up four children on her own by working for the Post Office."
She married again in 1960, but divorced Rickman's stepfather after three years.
After graduating from RADA, Rickman worked extensively with British repertory and experimental theatre groups in productions includingChekhov's The Seagull and Snoo Wilson's The Grass Widow at the Royal Court Theatre,

Rickman trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, and was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, performing in modern and classical theatre productions. His first big television part came in 1982, but his big break was as the Vicomte de Valmont in the stage production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses in 1985, for which he was nominated for aTony Award. Rickman gained wider notice for his film performances as Hans Gruber in Die Hard and Severus Snape in the Harry Potter film series.

In 1965, at the age of 19, Rickman met 18-year-old Rima Horton, who became his girlfriend and would later be a Labour Party councillor on the Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council (1986–2006) and an economics lecturer at the nearby Kingston University.
