Dudley Moore

Dudley Moore is my idea of genuine range made flesh. Oxford-trained at Magdalen, he broke through with Beyond the Fringe in the 1960s satire boom, then proved equally serious as a jazz pianist, a composer, a comedian and a leading man. Two Golden Globes, a Grammy, a Tony and a CBE is an almost unfair spread of honors. What moves me is that none of it felt like dabbling; each craft was the real thing. To make people laugh and still command a keyboard is a rare kind of grace, and since his death in 2002 I've only grown more impressed by the sheer density of his talent.
