Sir Rex Harrison was an English actor famous for his mordant elegance and his command of sophisticated comedy. He embodied like no one witty, somewhat cynical gentlemen, a register that culminated in the role of his life: Professor Henry Higgins in 'My Fair Lady' (1964), for which he won the Oscar for Best Actor after having also premiered it on Broadway. He had earlier shone in comedies such as 'Blithe Spirit' (1945) and in historical dramas like 'Cleopatra' (1963), where he brought Julius Caesar to life. His style, more spoken than sung, and his impeccable diction defined an archetype of British refinement. An actor of long standing in film and theatre, he was knighted shortly before his death in 1990.
