When the Limerick-born actor Richard Harris was in hospital being treated for advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2002, he began writing his autobiography.
He was a man who had lived several lives, each one more colourful than the last.
Jared Harris, Richard's son, recalls: "Unfortunately, there was some notepad [that he was writing in] that was wrapped up in all these newspapers..."
He was going to start again though, but... yeah. I think he definitely had an appetite for more [living].
