jakeem Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I didn't notice this until recently, but Noel Harrison (son of Rex) died last month at the age of 79. I'm sure many will remember him opposite Stefanie Powers in "The Girl from U.N.C.L.E." TV series in the 1960s. http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/actor-singer-noel-harrison-dies-at-79/2013/10/22/3f885e5a-3b2d-11e3-b6a9-da62c264f40e_story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Saw him in a recent rerun of "Mission Impossible". Don't forget his foray into an attempted singing career. Actually, he sang much better than his Dad "attempted". Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the newspaper obits I read mentioned that Harrison and his father performed back-to-back Oscar-winning songs in movies. For Rex, it was "Talk to the Animals" in "Doctor Dolittle" (1967). Noel sang "The Windmills of Your Mind" in "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1968). Edited by: jakeem on Nov 2, 2013 2:10 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWatusi Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Awww. I saw Noel Harrison performing at a dinner theater in Dallas in the 70s! I think the play was called Mousetrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
