My Take
Noel Harrison earns my admiration for refusing to be defined by any single arena. He competed for Britain as an Olympic alpine skier in the 1950s, then reinvented himself as an actor and singer, scoring a top-10 hit with The Windmills of Your Mind in 1968. Being the son of Rex Harrison could have trapped him in a famous shadow, yet he carved a distinct, eclectic path of his own. I am drawn to people who chase excellence across unrelated fields rather than settling into one. His voice on that song endures, and so, for me, does the spirit behind it.
