Sir Reginald Carey "Rex" Harrison (5 March 1908 – 2 June 1990) was an English actor of stage and screen. One of Harrison's best remembered film roles was that of Professor Henry Higgins in the stage and film versions of My Fair Lady. The role earned him a Tony Award, a Golden Globe Award and Best Actor Oscar.

Youth and stage career [link]

Harrison was born in Huyton, Lancashire,[1] and educated at Liverpool College.[2] After a bout of childhood measles, Harrison lost most of the sight in his left eye, which on one occasion caused some on-stage difficulty.[3] He first appeared on the stage in 1924 in Liverpool. Harrison's acting career was interrupted during World War II while serving in the Royal Air Force, reaching the rank of Flight Lieutenant.[4] He acted in various stage productions until 11 May 1990. He acted in the West End of London when he was young, appearing in the Terence Rattigan play French Without Tears, which proved to be his breakthrough role.

He alternated appearances in London and New York in such plays as Bell, Book and Candle (1950), Venus Observed, The Cocktail Party, The Kingfisher, and The Love of Four Colonels, which he also directed.[5] He won his first Tony Award for his appearance as Henry VIII in Anne of the Thousand Days and international superstardom (and a second Tony Award) for his portrayal of Henry Higgins in the musical My Fair Lady, in which he appeared opposite Julie Andrews. Later appearances included Pirandello's Henry IV, a 1984 appearance at the Haymarket Theatre with Claudette Colbert in Frederick Lonsdale's Aren't We All?, and one on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre presented by Douglas Urbanski, at the Haymarket in J. M. Barrie's The Admirable Crichton with Edward Fox. He returned as Henry Higgins in a highly paid revival of My Fair Lady directed by Patrick Garland in 1981, cementing his association with the plays of George Bernard Shaw which included a Tony nominated performance as Shotover in Heartbreak House, Julius Caesar in Caesar and Cleopatra, and General Burgoyne in a Los Angeles production of The Devil's Disciple.

In film [link]

Harrison's film debut was in The Great Game (1930), and other notable early films include The Citadel (1938), Night Train to Munich (1940), Major Barbara (1941), Blithe Spirit (1945), Anna and the King of Siam (1946), The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947), and The Foxes of Harrow (1947). He was best known for his portrayal of Professor Henry Higgins in the film version of his stage success, 1964 film version of My Fair Lady, based on the Broadway production of the same name (which itself was based on George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion), for which Harrison won a Best Actor Oscar.

He also starred in 1967's Doctor Dolittle. At the height of his box office clout after the success of My Fair Lady, Harrison proved a domineering and demanding irritant for the cast and crew during production, demanding impractical things like needless auditions for prospective composers after musical playwright Leslie Bricusse was contracted[6] and demanding to have his singing recorded live during shooting, only to agree to have it rerecorded in post-production.[7] He also disrupted production with drunken incidents with his wife, Rachel Roberts[8] and deliberate misbehavior, such as when he deliberately moved his yacht in front of cameras during shooting in St. Lucia and refused to move it out of sight.[9] Harrison was at one point temporarily replaced by Christopher Plummer, until he agreed to be more cooperative.[10]

Harrison was not by general terms a singer, and the music was usually written to allow for long periods of recitative, or "speaking to the music." As result, he refused to be overshadowed by singing co-stars and demanded that Sammy Davis Jr. be replaced by Sidney Poitier for Doctor Dolittle, since the latter actor did not sing professionally[11] and continually abused Jewish musical co-stars like Anthony Newley with anti-semitic insults.[12] Nevertheless, "Talk to the Animals", which Harrison performed in Doctor Dolittle, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1967. His son, Noel, coincidentally sang the 1968 Oscar winner, "The Windmills of Your Mind".[13]

Although excelling in comedy (Noël Coward described him thus: "the best light comedy actor in the world—except for me."),[14] he attracted favourable notices in dramatic roles such as his portrayal of Julius Caesar in Cleopatra (1963) and as Pope Julius II in The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965), opposite Charlton Heston as Michelangelo. He also acted in a Hindi film Shalimar alongside Indian Bollywood star Dharmendra. He also appeared as an aging homosexual man opposite Richard Burton as his lover in Staircase (1969).[15]

Harrison as Julius Caesar in the film Cleopatra, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award.

Personal life [link]

Harrison was married six times. In 1942 he divorced his first wife, Colette Thomas, and married actress Lilli Palmer the next year; the two later appeared together in numerous plays and films, including The Fourposter.[16]

In 1947, while married to Palmer, Harrison began an affair with actress Carole Landis. Landis committed suicide in 1948 after spending the evening with Harrison.[17] Harrison's involvement in the scandal surrounding Landis' death briefly damaged his career and his contract with Fox was ended by mutual consent.[18]

Harrison and Lilli Palmer divorced in 1957. That same year, Harrison married actress Kay Kendall. Kendall died of leukemia in 1959.[19] He was subsequently married to Welsh-born Rachel Roberts from 1962 to 1971 (Roberts committed suicide in 1980).[20] Harrison then married Elizabeth Rees-Williams and, finally, Mercia Tinker, who would become his sixth and final wife in 1978.[21]

Later career and death [link]

Having retired from films in the late 1970s, Harrison continued to act on Broadway until the end of his life, despite suffering from glaucoma, painful teeth, and a failing memory.[22] He was nominated for a third Tony Award in 1984 for his performance as Capt. Shotover in the revivial of George Bernard Shaw's Heartbreak House. He followed the show up with two successful pairings with Claudette Colbert, The Kingfisher in 1985 and Aren't We All? in 1986. In 1989 he appeared with Edward Fox in The Admirable Crichton in London.In 1990 he appeared on Broadway in The Circle by W. Somerset Maugham, opposite Glynis Johns and Stewart Granger,.[23]

He died of pancreatic cancer at his home in Manhattan on June 2, 1990, aged 82. He had been diagnosed with the disease only a short time earlier. His death ended the stage production in which he was appearing at the time, The Circle.[24]

Harrison's second autobiography, A Damned Serious Business: My Life in Comedy (ISBN 0553073419), was published posthumously in 1991.

Honours and legacy [link]

On 25 July 1989 Harrison was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. An orchestra played the music of songs from My Fair Lady.

Rex Harrison has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: one at 6906 Hollywood Boulevard for his contribution to motion pictures, and another at 6380 Hollywood Boulevard for his contribution to the television industry.

Due to his association with the checked wool hat he wore in the Broadway and film versions of My Fair Lady, that style of headware was officially named "The Rex Harrison".

Seth MacFarlane, the creator of the animated series Family Guy, modeled the voice of the character Stewie Griffin after Harrison, after seeing him in the film adaptation of My Fair Lady.[25][26]

Rex Harrison (rugby league)


Rex Aubrey Harrison (1914-1996) was an Australian Rugby League player of the 1930s and 1940s.

Born in Adelaide, South Australia on 27 June 1914, Rex Harrison was graded with the North Sydney Bears in 1934 and played eleven seasons with them from 1934-1942 and 1945-1946. Rex was an excellent five-eighth and represented N.S.W. City Firsts on three occasions in 1939,1941 and 1942. He also represented New South Wales on ten occasions between 1938-1941.

World War Two curtailed his Rugby League career and he was never able to represent Australia. He enlisted in the Australian Army in 1942 and attained the rank of corporal. He was discharged from active duty in 1945. He rekindled his career at North Sydney Bears at the end of 1945, and played almost the entire 1946 season until he broke his collarbone in the second last game. He then retired as a player, although he went on to coach the minor grades at Norths with success, and was later promoted to first grade coach in 1954. Again he found success, taking the first grade team to the finals for the first time in a number of years.

    Welcome Home

    by: Tammy Trent

    I was taken back when You took me in
    Just to wipe my tears away
    You made no demands chose not to blame
    Though I knew You had the right to
    And I saw the years I wasted
    Searching everywhere in vain
    Finding nothing to believe in
    Until I finally heard you say
    Welcome Home My mercy's waiting
    Welcome Home to open arms
    There's no shame in your returning
    Though you may have wandered far
    Welcome Home
    That was years ago so far away
    At an altar on my knees
    But I can still recall like yesterday
    How Your love forever changed me
    Oh I see how You've been faithful
    Though I've often caused you pain
    And I've learned you won't forsake me
    When I need to hear you say
