The original Professor Higgins himself, Rex Harrison talked his way to an Oscar in *My Fair Lady* with a revolutionary speak-singing technique that proved you don't actually need to carry a tune to win hearts—or golden statues. At 82, this six-times-married English charmer has outlived several of his wives and co-stars, yet somehow maintains the unflappable elegance of a man who's convinced he'll live forever on sheer refinement alone. Whether he's got more curtain calls left in him remains to be seen, but fair lady luck has treated him well so far.
