10 .He was tough,impatient with fans:"I'm totally antisocial. I don't like going out. I lead a very private life and have my set of friends. I'm not part of celebrity time in any way."As for the idea of celebrity, Harrison says he can do without it, but "You get certain perks." His, for example, is a limo. "And if you're clever you can make a lot of money." But fame "is very irritating, as a matter of fact, because you get stopped in the street. People come up to you just as you have a large piece of food on your fork about to enter your mouth. They want to say hello or something''After a stage performance of "My Fair Lady," it was late, cold and pouring rain and an old woman was standing alone outside the stage door. As Rex emerged, she asked him for his autograph. Rex told her abruptly to "Sod off"; the old woman was so enraged that she rolled up her program and struck him with it. Harrison's co-star Stanley Holloway, who had followed Rex out in time to see this, commented sarcastically that, for the first time in theater history, "The fan has hit the sh*t!".

8 Sexy Rexy ("Walter Winchell started that, much to my annoyance") .He loathed Hedda Hopper & Louella Parsons."They were extremely impolite to me," he recalls. "If they'd been polite I would have liked them. They had a devilish power. It was ridiculous. People were actually frightened of them! I didn't give a damn. I hated them. I hated them for the way they treated other people."

6 . Claudette Colbert and Harrison appeared together on Broadway in 1978 in a revival of "The Kingfisher." They are social friends as well as costars. Yes, she says, he can be difficult. "He's very impatient. With everybody," she says wearily. "He likes things his own way, and he's rather difficult during rehearsals."Still, she says, "he's a wonderful actor and a great comedian." Mercia Tinker was his sixth wife. His first was Marjorie Thomas. He left her for actress Lilli Palmer whom he left for actress Kay Kendall who died of leukemia two years later. (Harrison kept the illness secret from her.) Then he married actress Rachel Roberts and he left her for Elizabeth Harris (former wife of Richard Harris).

4 .Harrison once observed that stars appeared to be the same people on screen and off. It wasn't acting. Cary Grant was Cary Grant. Gary Cooper was Gary Cooper. Rex Harrison was Rex Harrison? "I would think so," he allows. But "I don't even really agree with that now. I don't know what I was at that point, because unless you're a character actor essentially you do use your own elements in acting. I think I was talking rubbish." He was quite rambunctious in his younger days.

2.He was a lifelong friend of Greta Garbo.They lived in the same building in NYC.

8. He never playede never played conventional leading men - there was always too much sense of threat about him for that - but he created some memorable villains and a few tough heroes in films .Despite his death his widow could use the title 'Lady'

10 how about this one! According to one obituary he "exemplified for many cinemagoers the stiff upper lip tradition prevalent in post war British films. His craggy looks and authoritative bearing were used to good effect whatever branch of the services he represented."
