Sad news...Dudley Moore has died after suffering a long illness. Mr. Moore died from pneumonia, a complication of his disease, progressive supranuclear palsy.

He was such a funny man. When he falls out of the Rolls laughing in "Arthur", I laugh just as hard every time. And although this is very sad news, I had to smile at this quote from the article:

"Announcing his illness in 1999, he said: "I understand that one person in 100,000 suffers from the disease and I am also aware that there are 100,000 members of my union, the Screen Actors Guild, who are working every day.

"I think, therefore, it is in some way considerate of me that I have taken on the disease for myself, thus protecting the remaining 99,999 members from this fate.
