Dudley Moore Dies at 66

By Cmaster2 March 28, 2002 12:46 PM

Dudley Moore, who at 5-foot-2 and fortysomething became an unlikely sex symbol in the late '70s and early '80s when he starred in 10 and Arthur, died in New Jersey Thursday at the age of 66 of complications from a rare brain disorder that struck him five years ago. In a New York Times obituary, Moore was quoted as once saying: "I think most comedians start off defending themselves with comedy. They feel inferior in some way. I certainly did feel inferior. Because of class. Because of strength. Because of height. If I'd been able to hit someone in the nose, I wouldn't have been a comic."

We'll miss you Dudley!

Thanks IMDB!

LOL with him in some of his pictures. A great loss, I'll never forget that picture with Eddie Murphy.

I don't care much for deaths in the celeb world but this one came as a true shocker.  Ever since I saw Dudley in TEN, I became his great fan.  He was a great actor, a beautiful musician, and most of all an irreplaceable comedian.
Everytime I remember the piano scene from the movie TEN, I get tears in my eyes(the eyes that hardly cry).
I miss him terrribly.
