Dudley Stuart John Moore, CBE (April 19, 1935 - March 27, 2002), was an Academy-Award     
nominated and Golden Globe-winning English actor, comedian and musician.                   
                                                                                           
Moore first came to prominence as one of the four writer-performers in Beyond             
the Fringe in the early 1960s and became increasingly famous as half of the               
double-act he formed with Peter Cook. His fame as a comedic actor was                     
considerably heightened by his success in Hollywood movies such as 10 with Bo             
Derek and Arthur in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He was often known as "Cuddly         
Dudley".
