Deanna Durbin was a Canadian actress from the 1930s to the 1940s. In 1935, when she was just 13 years old, she sang an operatic aria at a Hollywood benefit, and Universal Studios was so impressed, they signed her to a long term contract (which turned out to be a wonderful move on their part)! She was studying opera with the Spanish opera star Andres de Segurola, but she dropped that when she started movies. Some of her movies include: Mad About Music, It Started with Eve, Three Smart Girls Grow Up, One Hundred Men and a Girl, and Every Sunday. In the early 1940s, she was Universal's biggest star and in 1947 she was the highest paid female star in Hollywood. Deanna abruptly retired from acting in 1948 at the age of 26 and withdrew from public life. She passed away in 2013 at age 91 AND Rex Harrison was born Reginald Carey Harrison in Lancashire, England in 1908. He decided to become "Rex" while still a boy, because it is the Latin word for "king"! He started acting on the London stage at 16. He had some success, but his breakthrough role came twelve years later in French Without Tears, a comic farce which was the first play by Terence Rattigan. After that, he continued to appear in plays, but he also appeared in major English films, including Major Barbara and Blithe Spirit. He came to the U.S. after Blithe Spirit, and made three movies, and then made Anna and the King of Siam (the non-musical precursor of The King and I), and quickly followed it with four more movies the following two years. But tragedy struck in 1947, because of Harrison's very active love life! He had divorced his first wife in 1942 and married German actress Lilli Palmer. In 1947, still married to Palmer, he had an affair with Carole Landis, and she committed suicide, and he discovered the body. He attended the funeral with Palmer in an attempt to smooth things over, but the scandal was too great, and Harrison's contract was dissolved and he left Hollywood. For most of the next decade he stayed on the stage, in both London and New York. In 1956, he was Henry Higgins in the first production of My Fair Lady, and it was one of the most successful shows of all time. Harrison played the role in the 1964 film version, and won the Best Actor Oscar. The year before he had played Julius Caesar in Cleopatra (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film). He appeared in a number of big budget movies over the next few years, including The Agony and the Ecstasy and Doctor Dolittle. He mostly retired from movies in the late 1970s, but continued to act on stage the rest of his life. He was married a total of six times and he was nicknamed "Sexy Rexy"!
