I met him once in New Orleans at a parade. He was on a float that was going to the assembly point. The float was stopped and there was no one around. I spoke briefly with him and he gave me a mini-green doubloon with his image on the back. I was just a kid. He was so kind to me.
While visiting London in 1988, I found Eaton Square and fell in love with the understated, gentle and very English ambience. I can fully understand why Rex Harrison and Lord and Lady Olivier chose to live there.Good interview.
@@tylarjackson7928 Yeah, I guess if I had really been thinking about my grammar way back when I wrote that little observation, I might of noticed that.... 😎
@@mogomarkas3187 You did it again. I mean if you wanna get that wrong, whatever, but I just want someone to be aware of it. You are the only person I've bothered to correct about this, so you should feel pretty special.
@dellwright1407 if you look into it a little more you will see that Rex was cheating on her with another woman when Lilli found out the other woman ended up k!ling herself, and because of that he had a hatred towards Lilli because he felt it was her fault. Lilli talks about it in her biography
I knew Foyer was pronounced Foy'Eh . how hoity old people would pronounce it in the US. this is the Cat in which Stewie Griffin is based on huh? seems legit :D
The inspiration for mr Stewart Griffin. Yes.
Its uncanny nuances of his accent seth managed to capture
That's why I'm here lol
@@jasonmonk5310 LMFAO same
Mr Coooolwhip
Exactly here for that 😂😂😂
i can see that stewies flow of speaking is what was inspired by him
I came here to confirm that too lol
@@mattyrr9627 me to haha

RIP Sir Rex Harrison (March 5, 1908 - June 2, 1990), aged 82
You will be remembered as a legend.
That’s how media should conduct themselves. Rare interactions but remain profesional and respectful of those of whom they are bothering.
Agreed
POV this is the video you picked to watch after watching Seth McFarland on Graham Norton Show to see the similarity of Rex and Stewie’s voices.
After learning about it from WKPDIA but ok
Spot on.... Nothing like him tho??
Doesn't even have a gun
Lol correct, because it’s the only video that exists 😂

Rex Harrison is the kindest man I have ever met. Maybe he wasn't like that, but that's how I feel. And I thank him for that.
What happened when u met, wat was ur interaction like
I love Rex Harrison I watch my fair lady many times.
'I have watched,' not 'I watch'.
@@stuartbritton7408 Thank you.
Stewie Griffin was modeled after Rex. what a cool accent rex harrison had
@joe ward Rex Harrison was a Scouser so this certainly wasn't his natural accent.
@@crose7412 being born somewhere doesn't mean you have that accent
@@NangDoofer About 90% of the time, it does.
@@crose7412 I find actors generally don’t because they usually start when they’re really young and move away from their birthplace.
@@NangDoofer Is there some sort of phenomenon whereby thespians rarely grow up where they're born?
I have been a fan of Rex's for years. Since I was a teenager. ❤

He’s in one of my favorite films of all time; The Ghost of Mrs. Muir. ❤
Lovely interview
I like Sir Rex very much but I must say I've never seen him being so gracious.
This was a terrific innocent time.
depending on your demographic unfortunately
Not everywhere
Things are tough all over...
Not in Vietnam..
He was my grand father's cousin.
That’s pretty sweet
Such a great actor, quintessentially English
I am genuinely amazed by how many people are here because of Family Guy.
"I'm Henry Higgins, of "The Higgins Universal Alphabet!!"
A remarkable man interesting and a terrific actor. 🙏❤️
How lovely! Wonderful!
Who would of thought that Belushi was at one time the driver of Harrison's Rolls Royce.
mogo markas lol good eye browie!
Jesus that looks just like him
Just so you know, it's "would have" not "would of". It's a very common mistake.

Things have changed in Eaton Square since 1969 Monty Modlyn saying 'things are bad' and describing the Square as 'crumbie'
Yay I love that word crumbie !
TMZ 1969
monty i remember him on the today programme with eamonn andrews
0:47 that fake add in laugh
Cool Whhhhip! (Family guy fans will get it) 😁
Anyone else here after a Seth McFarland video?
Yuh
I'm only here because of Stewie's Character.
Same mate
Rex Harrison's part as the ghost with Mrs Muir, why no Oscar? Who throughout historycould play better?
Blood & Swash!
That film is divine ❤
Stewie!
Weirdly I feel like the interviewer sounds more like Stewie
Yo that's Stewie right there 😂
What accent does the interviewer have, and how about Rex Harrison? Received pronunciation RP?
I only know him from Cleopatra, always preferred him over Richard Burton there, even as a match w/ Liz the Great
I like how awkward the reporter is lol
Stewie Griffin/Seth Mcfarlane brought me here.
It's subtle, I can hear the inspiration. For my money, though I think James Mason is a closer fit for Stewie.
Of course Seth McFarlane himself says Rex Harrison was his inspiration, but you know better, I'm sure... 😉
I heard that he was very difficult to work with.
Cool Whip
Chinese people would ask: Did you buy the flat? Why do you rent?
Heavens, it seems my wee-wee has been struck by rigor mortis!
now i know why stewie got dem baggy eyes.
what region is this accent from?
I do love Rex but at the same time I will never forgive him for what he did to Lilli Palmer
@dellwright1407 if you look into it a little more you will see that Rex was cheating on her with another woman when Lilli found out the other woman ended up k!ling herself, and because of that he had a hatred towards Lilli because he felt it was her fault. Lilli talks about it in her biography
Stewie brought me here
I'm sorry im just hearing stewie from family guy
Stewie
Haven’t read all the comments , but I bet there is nothing about the time he slapped Frank Sinatra .
I knew Foyer was pronounced Foy'Eh . how hoity old people would pronounce it in the US. this is the Cat in which Stewie Griffin is based on huh? seems legit :D
"What things about?"
"Things about are good😏"
Sounds like there talking about girls right?
This is
only 60 there look like 80
Rex Harrison was faking being funny
