{"product_id":"9780753546512","title":"Behaving Badly: Richard Harris","description":"\u003cp\u003eRichard Harris was never an easy person to get along with. He was a difficult schoolboy (and was later disowned by his Limerick teachers), then he went to work in the family flour and milling business - where he organised a strike against his father.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was as a gifted and compelling actor that Richard Harris dominated stage and screen for more than four decades. He was nominated for an Oscar twice: for his earthy portrayal of a rugby player in \u003ci\u003eThis Sporting Life\u003c\/i\u003e and as a dominant and bullish Irish farmer in \u003ci\u003eThe Field.\u003c\/i\u003e More recently he delivered gripping screen performances in \u003ci\u003eGladiator \u003c\/i\u003eand two \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter \u003c\/i\u003efilms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut it was his violent, drunken, womanising private life that fed the public myth and made Harris, one of a new breed of rogue male actors, an international celebrity. Married and divorced twice, with three sons - two actors, one a film director - he claimed the only time he had been miscast was as a husband. His lovers included legends such as Merle Oberon, Sophia Loren, Ava Gardner and Vanessa Redgrave.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ebury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118336131312,"sku":"9780753546512","price":25.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780753546512_p0.jpg?v=1763639834","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780753546512","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
