A British actor, best known for his performance in the role of Henry Higgins in the Broadway musical My Fair Lady (1956), was born on March 5, 1908, in Huyton, United Kingdom. He began his career at the Liverpool Repertory Theatre before establishing himself as a comedy actor in the West End theatre district of London. He achieved wider renown in New York City when he played the role of Tubbs Barrow in Sweet Aloes (1936), which he followed with an acclaimed performance in the light comedy French without Tears (1936) at the Criterion Theatre in London. As Harrison's career progressed, American audiences particularly appreciated his upright and aristocratic comic style. He played the role of Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady for two years on Broadway (1956-1957) before performing it in London. He won an Academy Award for best actor for the 1964 motion-picture version, which further enhanced his reputation. Harrison's impeccable and seemingly effortless performances often disguised the depth of his talent. He continued acting on stage until the age of 80, enjoying success with The Fighting Cock (1959), Platonov (1961), In Praise of Love (1973), Henry IV (1974), and Heartbreak House (1983). Harrison wrote two autobiographies: Rex (1974) and A Damned Serious Business: My Life in Comedy (1991).
He died on June 2, 1990, in New York City, New York, United States.
