Early life[edit]
Minghella was born in Ryde, on the Isle of Wight, an island off the
south coast of England that is a popular holiday resort. His family
are well-known on the Island, where they ran a café in
Ryde
Ryde until the
1980s and have run an eponymous business making and selling
Italian-style ice cream since the 1950s.[1] His parents were Edoardo
Minghella (an Italian immigrant) and Leeds-born Gloria Alberta (née
Arcari).[2][3] His mother's ancestors originally came from Valvori, a
small village in the
Lazio
Lazio region of central Italy.[4][5] He was one
of five children, a sister being Loretta Minghella.
Minghella attended St. Mary's Catholic Primary School, Ryde, Sandown
Grammar School, and St John's College, Portsmouth. Early interests
suggested a possible career as a musician,[6] with Minghella playing
keyboards with local bands Earthlight and Dancer.[7] The latter
recorded an album Tales of the Riverbank in 1972 although it was not
released until 2001.[8] He attended the University of Hull, studying
Drama.[9] As an undergraduate he had arrived at university with an EMI
contract for the band in which he sang and played keyboard; while
there writing words and music for a musical entitled Mobius the
Stripper.[10]
After several years of teaching at the same university (Samuel Beckett
and medieval theatre), he abandoned his pursuit of a
PhD
PhD to work for
the BBC.[11]
Career[edit]
His debut work was a stage adaptation of Gabriel Josipovici's Mobius
the Stripper (1975) and it was his Whale Music (1985) brought him
notice.[12] His double bill of Samuel Beckett's Play and Happy Days
was his directorial debut and debut feature film as a director was A
Little Like Drowning (1978). During the 1980s, he worked in
television, starting as a runner on Magpie before moving into script
editing the children's drama series
Grange Hill
Grange Hill for the
BBC
BBC and later
writing
The Storyteller
The Storyteller series for Jim Henson. He wrote several
episodes of the ITV detective drama
Inspector Morse
Inspector Morse and an episode of
long-running ITV drama Boon.
Made in Bangkok (1986) found mainstream
success in the West End.
Radio success followed with a
Giles Cooper Award for the radio drama
Cigarettes and Chocolate[13] first broadcast on
BBC
BBC Radio 4 in 1988.
It was revived on 3 May 2008 as a tribute to its author director
following his death. His production starred Juliet Stevenson, Bill
Nighy and Jenny Howe. His first radio play Hang Up, starring Anton
Lesser and Juliet Stevenson, was revived on 10 May 2008 as part of the
BBC
BBC Radio 4 Minghella season.[14]
Truly, Madly, Deeply
Truly, Madly, Deeply (1990), a feature drama written and directed for
the BBC's
Screen Two anthology strand, bypassed TV broadcast and
instead had a cinema release. He bypassed an offer of another
Inspector Morse
Inspector Morse directorial to do the project, the latter he believed
would have been a much higher-profile assignment. The English Patient
(1996) brought him two
Academy Awards
Academy Awards nominations, Best Director
(which he won) and Adapted Screenplay. He also received an Adapted
Screenplay nomination for The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999).
The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, a pilot episode television
adaptation which he co-wrote and directed, was broadcast posthumously
on
BBC
BBC One (23 March 2008); watched by 6.3 million viewers. He vocally
supported I Know I'm Not Alone, a film of musician Michael Franti's
peacemaking excursions into Iraq, Palestine and Israel. He directed a
party election broadcast for the Labour Party in 2005. The short film
depicted
Tony Blair
Tony Blair and
Gordon Brown
Gordon Brown working together and was
criticised for being insincere: "The
Anthony Minghella
Anthony Minghella party political
broadcast last year was full of body language fibs", said Peter
Collett, a psychologist at the University of Oxford. "When you are
talking to me, I'll give you my full attention only if I think you are
very high status or if I love you. On that party political broadcast,
they are staring at each other like lovers. It is completely
false."[15]
With Samuel Beckett's 100th birthday celebrations, he returned to
radio on
BBC
BBC Radio 3 with Eyes Down Looking (2006), with: Jude Law,
Juliet Stevenson
Juliet Stevenson and David Threlfall.[16] An operatic directorial
debut came with Puccini's Madama Butterfly. Premiered at the English
National Opera (London, 2005), then at the Lithuanian National Opera
and Ballet Theatre (Vilnius, March 2006) and at the Metropolitan Opera
(New York City, September 2006). The latter was transmitted live into
cinemas worldwide (7 March 2008) as part of the Met's HD series and is
now available on DVD. The ENO work was to have led to other operatic
projects, directing again at
English National Opera
English National Opera and collaborating
with
Osvaldo Golijov on a new opera for the Met and ENO, writing the
libretto and directing the production.[10]
He was honoured with the naming of The
Anthony Minghella
Anthony Minghella Theatre at
the Quay Arts Centre (Isle of Wight). He made an appearance in the
2007 film Atonement as a television host interviewing the novelist
central to the story.
His last work was the screenplay of the film adaptation of the Tony
Award-winning musical Nine (1982);
Arthur Kopit
Arthur Kopit (book) and Maury
Yeston (score). It is based on the film 8½. He shared credit with
Michael Tolkin
Michael Tolkin on the screenplay.
The Film, Theatre & Television department at the University of
Reading, opened in 2012, was named in his honour.
Personal life and death[edit]
Minghella met his first wife, Yvonne Miller, when they were
students.[17] They had one daughter, Hannah,[18] who worked as a
production assistant on The Talented Mr. Ripley, and was President of
Sony Pictures Animation[19] for a time before being named President of
Production of Columbia Pictures.[citation needed] Minghella and his
first wife eventually divorced. In 1985, Minghella married Hong
Kong–born choreographer and dancer Carolyn Jane Choa.[5] They had
one son, Max, who is an actor.
Minghella's younger brother, Dominic Minghella, is the creator of the
popular British television series Robin Hood and Doc Martin, and a
scriptwriter. His sister Loretta is Director of Christian Aid,[20] his
sister Edana participated in a jazz event on the Isle of Wight, and
his nephew Dante is one of the participants in Channel 4's Child
Genius series.
Minghella was a fan of
Portsmouth F.C.
