He remained politically active throughout his life: he was born, he said, "a card-carrying member of the Labour party", and was highly involved with charities including Saving Faces and the International Performers' Aid Trust. In 2005, he directed the award-winning play My Name is Rachel Corrie, which he and Katharine Viner – now Guardian editor-in-chief – compiled from the emails of the student who was killed by a bulldozer while protesting against the actions of Israel's armed forces in the Gaza Strip. Sigourney Weaver, Rickman's co-star in 1999 comedy Galaxy Quest and 2006 drama Snow Cake, cited the play, saying: "He used his talent always to make a difference, his production of Rachel Corrie being one of the most powerful examples. "Alan's enormous strength of character infused every character he played, " she continued.

Rickman's illness had not been publicly known and the seeming suddenness of his death was reflected in many of the tributes. Jason Isaacs said he was "[s]idestepped by the awful news".

Photograph: Evan Agostini/Invision/AP Last year, Rickman made his second film as director: A Little Chaos, set in the gardens of Versailles and starring Kate Winslet (the object of Rickman's affection in Sense and Sensibility). Winslet, who was also Oscar-nominated on Thursday, remembered "the kindest and best of men [who] had the patience of a saint. He was a warm-hearted puppy dog, who would do anything for anyone if it made them happy". Winslet said that, aged 19, she had initially been intimidated by Rickman before realising he was "an exceptionally warm and giving man and an utterly phenomenal actor and gifted director. And that voice! Oh, that voice … We are all so devastated to lose Alan. " Rickman has two films still to be released, including Eye in the Sky, a drone warfare thriller in which he features alongside Helen Mirren. The two starred together in a 1998 stage production of Antony and Cleopatra. Mirren remembered Rickman as "a great friend" and "a towering person, physically, mentally and as an artist" whose voice "could suggest honey or a hidden stiletto blade, and the profile of a Roman Emperor".
At a party before Rickman's breakthrough stage performance in Les Liaisons Dangereuses at the RSC, he recalled Rickman saying: "I'm nearly 40 and nobody here knows who I am.

" Rickman was a man with whom many enjoyed long-lasting associations. Richard Wilson had known him since 1980, and they remained close despite never again working together. "Even when he was ill, he had that great stillness and great dignity, " said Wilson, who credited Rickman's professional success to his ability to be "very metamorphic, he could take on anything". "The thing about Alan is that although he became a film star, one continually met him in tiny fringe venues all over the country. He was just so generous with his time, and with his encouragement.
