He was in a lot of movies, but not sure his off screen antics were to be admired. MacArthur Park is an appalling song, those stupid lyrics...🤣, and Richards voice wasn't really suited. You can hear him straining on the high notes. I've not heard him sing much else, but he was in a lot of stage shows, so I know he can sing.

In the '70s the Camelot movie was on TV starring Richard Harris. I fell in love with the Arthurian legend. A few months later my mom bought tickets to the play Camelot staring Richard Burton. Not to impugn Richard Burton but in my mind; I associated Richard Harris as King Arthur. Sadly, Richard Burton suffered a non-fatal heart attack just prior to the play showing in L.A. To my youthful delight Richard Harris filled in and it has been one of my fondest memories.

I disagree, slightly... it IS the best western. Watching Mr Money finally return to his old self in one afternoon after several years of honest effort to change himself into a good person, and after his own effort to recapture that attitude of old in two weeks, was executed better than any character in any movie. It is not only the best western, it is one of the best movies of any genre.

Great actor. Watched unforgiven a few weeks ago. I don't have the right words to describe it but the speech English Bob gives about people not being able to kill a King and that they would just stand in awe and how William Munny kills everyone at the end and the writer stands in awe looking at him. The realisation that yes Munny is a monster but also a 'King' in the old West. Just incredible storytelling.

This is great .. just came off a Saul Rubinek interview about "Unforgiven" and he relates the same story as Harris. Harris had a way he wanted to play English Bob and Clint would never try to stop him. Same with Rubinek. Clint would never change a word in David Peoples' screenplay yet he let the actors handle their parts as they saw fit. He told Rubinek that his character was his department, and how he wanted to deliver those lines was up to him .. not the director. And the result is one of the greatest films of all time.

@Carmel O'Hara Jimmy Webb changed Richard's life. He wrote the hit song "MacArthur's Park" and let Richard sing it. You might like Jimmy's recent autobiography called The Cake and the Rain. He tells the story of how he wrote it and met up with Richard and their feud. Jimmy was the best songwriter in the USA in the late '60s. He was so good that two of his songs got nominated for a Grammy as song of the year. "By the time I get to Phoenix" sung by Glen Campbell and "Up Up and Away" by the Fifth Dimension. He won, but he thought they would split the vote between them and allow another song to win. The winner was Up Up.
