RIP Richard E Grant’s wife Joan Washington dies aged 71

#BREAKING NEWS:- Another reply read: ‘Oh Richard, I’m so so sorry for your loss. Your deep love and adulation for Joan is clear and evident in everything you wrote and shared about her. I wish you and Olivia peace in your grief and joy in her memory.’ Dawn French added: ‘Joan Washington will ALWAYS be remembered by those of us who knew her & were taught by her, as a PHENOMENAL WOMAN. So much love to @RichardEGrant & all the family.’ Fearne Cotton wrote on Instagram: ‘I am so so sorry for your loss. Love, strength and prayers to you and Olivia.’ The couple had been together for 38 years, with Richard meeting voice and dialect coach Joan when she was teaching an accent session at an acting school in December 1982. They got married in 1986 and Richard said that he never considered marriage until he met Joan, believing it to be ‘unnecessary’. He previously told the Independent: ‘Before I got married, I didn’t hold any store by it. ‘My parents were divorced when I was 11 and it made such a profound impression on my life that I suppose I thought that by not getting married, you could avoid your life being carved in two. But that changed.’ While Joan had been put off marriage after getting divorced, she happily accepted when the Withnail & I star popped the question after realising he wanted to commit to her while spending six weeks away from his girlfriend. The couple went on to welcome a daughter together, Olivia, 31, while Richard is also stepfather to Joan’s son Tom, 45, from her first marriage. Joan had suffered three miscarriages in their journey to becoming parents together, and sadly, Richard and Joan’s first child Tiffany died shortly after she was born prematurely. They referred to Olivia as their ‘miracle baby’.
