Harrison, Sir Rex

 orig. Reginald Carey Harrison

(born March 5, 1908, Huyton, Lancashire, Eng.—died June 2, 1990, New York, N.Y., U.S.) British actor. He made his debut in films and on the London stage in 1930, later appearing in successful plays such as French Without Tears (1936). After World War II he returned to the screen as a suave leading man in films such as Blithe Spirit (1945) and Notorious Gentleman (1945). He made his U.S. film debut in Anna and the King of Siam (1946). His most famous role, as Prof. Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady (1956, Tony Award), won him equal acclaim in its film version (1964, Academy Award). He was an impressive Julius Caesar in Cleopatra (1963).
