Full biography Dudley Moore

Dudley Moore was a British composer, actor, and comedian who rose to fame in the 1960s. Born on April 19, 1935, in Hammersmith, London, Moore was known for his notable contribution to the entertainment industry.

Moore trained as a classical pianist at the Royal Academy of Music, London. However, his career path changed when he joined the "Beyond the Fringe" comedy troupe along with fellow comedians Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller, and Alan Bennett. Together, they pioneered a new form of satirical comedy that gained popularity during the 1960s.

Dudley was famous for his comic timing, and soon he was seen as a successful comedian in his solo shows. He appeared in several hit movies, including "Bedazzled," "10," and "Arthur," which earned him critical acclaim and worldwide recognition.

Moore was also an accomplished composer who had a passion for music, particularly jazz. He regularly played with jazz musicians and, in 1978, even released an album called "Genuine Dud." His music was characterized by his distinctive style of blending classical music with jazz.

Whenever Moore played the piano, he would display his extraordinary talent, impressing his audiences with his witty humor and improvisation. He was often invited to perform at various concerts and jazz festivals, where he wowed audiences with his performances.

Sadly, in 2002, Moore passed away after battling a rare disease known as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). However, his contributions to the entertainment industry and music world continue to inspire and influence performers to this day.
