Životopis

Harrison započinje svoju karijeru u dobi od 16. godina u kazalištu u Liverpoolu, a zatim seli u London, gdje u kazališnom komadu Terrencea Rattigana pokazuje svoj talent.

Tijekim 1930-ih sve do 1946. glumio je u oko 20 filmova, različite manje uloge, s prekidom između 1942. do 1944. kada je tijekom Drugog svjetskog rata služio u Royal Air Forceu.

1946. doživljava slavu s glavnom ulogom u filmu Anna and the King of Siam. Svoje najpoznatije filmove snimio je tijekom 1960-ih.

1964. za svoju ulogu Professora Higginsa u filmu My Fair Lady nagrađen je Oscarom za najboljeg glumca.

Harrisonu, koji je bio elegantna i šarmantna osoba, dodijeljena je 1989. titula Sira.

Bio je oženjen šest puta:

1934.-1942. s Marjorie Thomas
1943.-1957. s glumicom Lilli Palmer
1957.-1959. s glumicom Kay Kendall
1962.-1971. s glumicom Rachel Roberts
1971.-1975. s Elizabeth Harris
1978.- do svoje smrti s Mercia Tinker

1948. dok je bio oženjen s Lilli Palmer, imao je ljubavnu vezu s glumicom Carole Landis; koja je počinila samoubojstvo kada se veza završila.

Poslije toga je često u "žutom tisku" nazivan kao Sexy Rexy. Tvorac, američke animirane serije "The Family Guy", Seth McFarland, je u nekoliko intervjua rekao da je karakter "Stewiea Griffina", njegov način govora kao i držanja tijela baziran po Harrisonovom liku.
