I found this little bit in an article about him. He says he found her irritating and she didn't seem to like him much either. They haven seen eachother since.
Everett does take full responsibility for “the bad bits,” as Fox called them, including his disastrous war for supremacy with Mike Newell on “Dance With a Stranger,” the one that cost him 10 years of work.
“I tortured him,” Everett said simply. “You know, men are very weird things. You have to pay homage to the alpha male in the movie world, and I think half the problems in movies do happen because of this clash between the decorative alpha male on the screen and the practical alpha male off screen. I was horrible in that film, drunk on my own success. I was horrible to Miranda Richardson. But she was very irritating. She’s extremely neurotic. She’s never talked to me since.” (“It’s a falsification,” Richardson said through a representative. “We’ve not crossed paths since the film.”)

What a twat. It was her first film, ffs. Of course she was 'neurotic'. She was probably bloody well worried about her performance, and it seems like he did very little to put her at ease.
It's interesting to read this, though, on the same day I started reading 'The Wah Wah Diaries'. Rupert Everett was one of the actors offered the part that Gabriel Byrne ended up playing. I wonder whether Miranda would have done it if he'd accepted the role.

Grr! That's totally changed my opinion of Rupert Everrett. He seems really insensitive! Poor Miranda having to work with him when he was being a total jerk.
