“ONLY YOU! Joan – love of my life and giver of life to our daughter Olivia, ”Grant wrote. He had married Washington, from Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1986. The couple had been in a relationship for a total of 38 years. Another son comes from an earlier relationship with Washington.
Washington was involved as a language coach in several well-known films such as “Elizabeth” or “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace”. Numerous celebrities expressed their condolences to Grant.
