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.
Wonderful Town is a musical (1953), book written by Joseph A. Fields and Jerome Chodorov, lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and music by Leonard Bernstein. Its origins fundamentally come from the collection of autobiographical short stories by Ruth McKenney published in The New Yorker three years following the incidents portrayed where she and her acting bound sister seek out success from their basement apartment of New York City's Greenwich Village. Fields and Chodorov's My Sister Eileen (1940 play) is based on the book and the musical results from the play. The only shared aspects of the book and the 1953 musical play plot are the final two stories in the book which are heavily modified. The stories also served as the basis of two films and a television series.
Wonderful Town premiered on Broadway in 1953, winning five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and spawned three New York City Center productions between 1958 and 1966, a 1986 West End production and 2003 Broadway revival. It is a lighter piece than Bernstein's later works, West Side Story and Candide, but none of the songs have become as popular.
Wonderful Town is a 2007 Thai film written and directed by Aditya Assarat.
Set on the mainland north of Phuket Island in the dreary post-tsunami Khao Lak area and Takua Pa town, Phang Nga Province, shooting was completed in December 2006, for which Aditya had secured funding from Singha Beer and Rolex. More money was needed for post-production work, funds were provided by the Thailand Ministry of Culture's Office of Contemporary Art and Culture. Wonderful Town premiered at the 2007 Pusan International Film Festival. It won the festival's top prize, the New Currents Award and a US$90,000 prize, which he split evenly with two other filmmakers who also won the award, Malaysian director Liew Seng Tat, who won for his film Flower in the Pocket, and Guang Hao-jin of China, for his film Life Track.
Aditya said he would use his prize money to transfer his digital-format footage to 35-millimeter, and he hoped it would have a limited screening in Bangkok sometime in 2008. Wonderful Town was shown in the Forum programme at the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival, and won a prestigious Tiger Award at the 2008 International Film Festival Rotterdam.

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...

Go home!
Go West!
Go back where you came from!
Oh, why did you ever leave Ohio?
A million kids just like you
Come to town every day
With stars in their eyes
They're going to conquer the city
They're going to grab off the Pulitzer prize
But it's a terrible pity
Because they're in for a bitter surprise
And their stories all follow one line
Like his
Like his
Like mine
Born in Duluth, natural writer
Published at seven, genius type
Wrote the school play, wrote the school paper
Summa cum laude, all of that tripe
Came to New York
Got on the staff here
This was my chance to be heard
And since then I haven't written a word
What a waste!
What a waste!
What a waste of money and time!
Man from Detroit
Wonderful artist
Went to Picasso
Pablo said, "Wow!"
Settled in France
Bought him a beret
Lived in Montmartre
Really learned how
Came to New York
Had an exhibit
Art critics made a big fuss
Now he paints those toothpaste ads on the bus
What a waste!
What a waste!
What a waste of money and time!
Girl from Mobile
Versatile actress
Tragic or comic
Any old play
Suffered and starved
Met Stanislavsky
He said the world would
Cheer her some day
Came to New York
Repertoire ready
Chekov's and Shakespeare's and Wilde's
Now they watch her flipping flapjacks at Childs
What a waste!
What a waste!
What a waste of money and time!
Kid from Cape Cod
Fisherman's family
Marvelous singer
Big baritone
Rented his boat
Paid for his lessons
Starved for his studies
Down to the bone
Came to New York
Aimed at the opera
Sing "Rigoletto" his wish
At the Fulton Market now he yells, "Fish!"
What a waste!
What a waste!
What a waste of money and
(Fish)
Go home!
Go West!
Go back where you came from!
Go home!
