Dudley Moore, dead at 66

(taken from NY Times)
"Dudley Moore, the multitalented British actor, comedian and musician noted for his performances in the 1960's stage revue "Beyond the Fringe" and the films "10" and "Arthur," died this morning at his home in Plainfield, N.J. He was 66.

Mr. Moore died of pneumonia as a complication of supranuclear palsy, a progressive disease that attacks various neurological functions."

Cheers to a very funny, and talented, guy! Not only was his comedic talents extraordinary, he was a wonderful pianist until this disease made it impossible for him to continue.

My eyes teared up when I read this.

As silly as it seems, I had a crush on Dudley for the longest time.

Funniest line from Arthur:

Arthur: I think I will have a bath now

Sir John Gielgud character: Very good sir, I shall alert the media.



Such a wonderful actor...he'll be missed

Okay, now DCL's thread on Uncle Miltie makes sense. They should be numbered death threads so everyone reads this one first.

That's my favorite line as well, Rhys!!

He and Sir John sure played off so well against each other!

Dudley was really ill

Peter Cook to Dudley Moore, who's auditioning as a one-legged Tarzan: "I like the right leg. It's a wonderful leg. I have nothing against your right leg. The trouble is, neither do you."

"Bedazzled"
