How tall was Dudley Moore?
The brilliant actor Dudley Moore, who had at least three distinct career stages that earned him considerable recognition and popularity, actually started out as a young musical prodigy. He was born in 1935 to working class parents in Dagenham, Essex, England, Ada Frances (Hughes), an English accountant, and John Havlin Moore, a Scottish railway electrician (originally from Glasgow).Dudley has earned a music scholarship to study the organ at Magdalen College, Oxford. He also studied music at university and became a classically trained pianist, though his forte for public performance on the piano was jazz. Having graduated from Magdalen College in 1958, Moore was given an organist position at King's College, Cambridge, but turned it down to go to London to start a music and acting career.
