Dudley Moore


Dudley Stuart John Moore, CBE was an English actor, comedian, musician and composer.

Moore was born at the original Charing Cross Hospital in central London, the son of Ada Francis , a secretary, and John Moore, a railway electrician. His father was Scottish, from Glasgow. Moore was brought up in Dagenham, Essex. He was notably short at 5160ft 2160in and was born with club feet that required extensive hospital treatment and, coupled with his diminutive stature, made him the butt of jokes from other children. His right foot responded well to corrective treatment and had straightened itself by the time he was six, but his left foot became permanently twisted and consequently his left leg below the knee was withered. This was something he remained very selfconscious of throughout his life.
