The poem begins: "To Anthony, I shall learn to live without you. With all that we've done and undone, with all the missing parts I'll have to carry on hoping." Referring to their work together - which saw her win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for 'The English Patient' in 1997, with Minghella taking home the Best Director prize - she writes: "We shared a heart beating in this inner world of creation, and your ideas became real to me. I was your angel and you opened my wings, and you were the words I could fly into, my friend of heart." The poem ends: "We dared a gift to the unknown. The search for truth in the battle of being. We attempted a glimpse on the other side, with joy with joy." Juliet Stevenson, who starred in Minghella's directorial breakthrough 'Truly, Madly, Deeply' in 1990, also paid tribute. She said: "This news is absolutely ghastly. As a writer and director Anthony made things happen, sorted things, he brought out the best in people's talents. "Anthony was many people. He was too big a person to be just one person. He was sophisticated, intelligent and creative, both in his life and everything around him." Minghella is survived by his Hong-Kong born choreographer wife Carolyn Choa, his daughter Hannah and actor son Max. TAGS: Celebrity |
