		Harrison was born in Huyton on Merseyside and was educated at Liverpool College.

		Harrison's affair with young actress Carole Landis, which is suspected to have played some part in her suicide, caused a scandal but failed to derail his career.

	My Fair Lady: Special Edition (1964)
		Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) is a Professor of languages and a rather snobbish and arrogant man. A visiting colleague, Colonel Pickering (Wilfrid Hyde-White), makes him a bet that he can't take a "commoner" and turn her into someone who would not be completely out of place in the social circles of upper-class English society.
		Harrison adds just the right dash of arrogance and elitist charm to the part; his egotism and aloofness make him believable in a tough role, and somehow he manages to provide enough charm to keep us from hating him.
		These bits are good for archival reasons but not tremendously fascinating otherwise, and the images lose some value due to the videotape time readings in the top part of the screen; these obstruct our view of the promotional materials.

	Rex Harrison Biography
		Never an actor of hidden profundities, Rex Harrison’s natural environment was theatrical light comedy in which elegance was preferred to depth, and urbanity to rough edges.
		His career on stage was as successful as his career in film, and the two came together in his performance as Professor Higgins in My Fair Lady on Broadway (1956-8) and in George Cukor's film adaptation (1964), for which he won an Oscar.
		It was one of those parts in which character and actor come to define each other, and though Harrison continued to give good performances (in, for example, The Yellow Rolls-Royce, 1964; and in The Agony and the Ecstasy, 1965, Doctor Dolittle, 1967, and Staircase, 1969), they tended to live under the shadow of Henry Higgins.

		Harrison had never done a musical and wasn't confident about his suitability.
		Undaunted, Lerner and Loewe updated the ''patter'' song: Harrison spoke the lyrics to songs like ''I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face.'' Harrison re-created Higgins in the 1964 movie version, but Andrews was passed over for popular film star Audrey Hepburn, whose songs were dub-bed by Marni Nixon.
		Harrison won the Best Actor Oscar that year-and Andrews won Best Actress for Mary Poppins, which sent her on to further fame as Maria in the film The Sound of Music.

		Rex Harrison's reprises Henry Higgins from the stage, and I frankly can't think of another actor who would bring the same English Arrogance and tongue-in-cheekiness to the role.
		The interactions between Harrison, Hepburn and Wilfred Hyde-White as Colonel Pickering, especially in the early part of the film, are witty, entertaining, and move the narrative right along without pausing for exposition.
		The Higgins character is a cad, very full of himself, and he makes the mistake of treating those he feels are socially inferior poorly.
