Sir Reginald Carey "Rex" Harrison (5 March 1908 – 2 June 1990) was an English actor of stage and screen and singer.
Harrison began his career on the stage in 1924. He won his first Tony Award for his performance as Henry VIII in Anne of the Thousand Days in 1949. He won his second Tony for the role of Professor Henry Higgins in the stage production of My Fair Lady in 1957. He reprised the role for the 1964 film version, which earned him a Golden Globe Award and Best Actor Oscar.
In addition to his stage career, Harrison also appeared in numerous films, including Anna and the King of Siam (1946), The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947), Cleopatra (1963), and Doctor Dolittle (1967). In July 1989, Harrison was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1975, Harrison released his first autobiography. His second, A Damned Serious Business: My Life in Comedy, was published posthumously in 1991.
Harrison was married a total of six times and had two sons: Noel and Carey Harrison. He continued working in stage productions until shortly before his death from pancreatic cancer in June 1990 at the age of 82.
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.
"Open the Door, Richard" is a song first recorded on the Black & White Records label by saxophonistist Jack McVea at the suggestion of A&R man Ralph Bass. In 1947, it was the number-one song on Billboard's "Honor Roll of Hits" and became a runaway pop sensation.
"Open the Door, Richard" started out as a black vaudeville routine. Pigmeat Markham, one of several who performed the routine, attributed it to his mentor Bob Russell. The routine was made famous by Dusty Fletcher on stages like the Apollo Theater in New York and in a short film [Archive.org]. Dressed in rags, drunk, and with a ladder as his only prop, Fletcher would repeatedly plunk the ladder down stage center, try to climb it to knock on an imaginary door, then crash sprawling on the floor after a few steps while shouting, half-singing "Open the Door, Richard". After this he would mutter a comic monologue, then try the ladder again and repeat the process, while the audience was imagining what Richard was so occupied doing.

Did you know that Audrey Hepburn made four times as much as costar Rex Harrison during the filming of the 1964 Hollywood film adaptation of My Fair Lady and that Audrey’s singing voice in the film was dubbed? Rex Harrison was an actor from Hollywood’s Golden Age that made a name for himself as a suave and sophisticated gentleman on the screen. While Rex was proficient at playing the part of a suave and sophisticated gentleman, it seems that the actor was actually pretty rude in real life. One of Rex’s biggest roles was that of Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady. He played the part in the Broadway production and then reprised the role for the Hollywood film adaptation. This gave Rex the chance to work with both Julie Andrews and Audrey Hepburn, which is something that the majority of people woul...

Making this animation all started from remembering this dated pop cultural reference from a Looney Tunes short back in the late 40s starring Yosemite Sam and Bugs Bunny. When trying to barge through a door that Bugs was behind of, he briefly broke the 4th wall telling the audience he didn't mention the name, "Richard." Out of curiosity, I searched up the reference and stumbled upon the song, "Open the Door Richard" a novelty song written back in 1946 which hit number 1 on the Billboard. Me, being a lifelong FNAF fan since day one, I couldn't help but conjure the idea of animating the FNAF cast (their designs being loosely based off the "Freddy and Friends on Tour" cartoon) acting out a vintage song. It seemed fitting :) ----------------------------------------------------- "Open the D...
