To audiences, Rex Harrison was synonymous with the devilishly charming Professor Henry Higgins from My Fair Lady, but backstage he was called Tyrannosaurus Rex. He was legendary for his urbane style, his mordant wit, his numerous wives, and his truly appalling temper. Noted English director Patrick Garland knew Harrison for a decade and a half and directed him in the 1980 Broadway revival of My Fair Lady. From these years of personal and professional friendship with Harrison, Garland pens an anecdote-packed biography of one of the truly great and charismatic figures of the cinema and stage, who was at his best when at his worst.
