Julian Sands ‘always had to take the hard path’ says ex-wife

Julian Sands’ ex-wife has said the late British actor “always had to take the hard path” and even at the end of his life had “sought a challenge”.

Sarah Sands, former editor of the Evening Standard, said that Sands was “restless… both artistically and geographically”.

The pair were married from 1984 to 1987 and share a son.

Sands went missing in the San Gabriel mountains in southern California in January, prompting a manhunt that lasted for over five months.

His remains were found by civilian hikers in June.
