O’Neill stayed with Harty until his death in 1988. Harty’s family removed O’Neill from Harty’s home after Harty lost his legal standing in the estate. His eventual homelessness was caused by this and the Sunday Mirror publishing a nude photograph from O’Neill’s modeling days in London.

They began a relationship and Joly was instrumental in helping O’Neill put his life back together. During the ten years that followed, O’Neill wrote At Swim, Two Boys, which was published in 2001.
