Dudley songs « Result #2 on Aug 21, 2009, 1:29am »
Long time no post. Was hoping people would join and start talkin', but oh, well.
Anyone got any favourite Dudley songs? "Song For Suzy" is my fave. There's also an AMAZING piano part in "Prelude-Georgia" that I never noticed until recently and can't get enough of. Such a strong, loud part.
I remember a TV show (maybe Michael Parkinson UK TV) where Dudley played a classical piece of piano music one note out for the whole piece. Do you know what was the occasion or where I can hear it again. If you can help me I would be very grateful Rusty Russell (MalcolmBRussell@Hotmail.com)
Hey Rusty. Sorry I didn't see your post until now.
The only Parkinson one I've seen was a best-of show or something and Dudley played an opera-style duet with Peter Ustinov. I haven't seen many interviews so I guess I missed that one. Sorry I couldn't help.

First of all, welcome to everyone who is visiting this board.
Just a few rules....
1. What is posted in this forum is meant for fun. Be aware of Reality and Fantasy. There is a Dudley Moore (the real person) and a "Dudley Moore" (the fantasy world person).
2. Please check to see that you're placing your comments in the right section. Also, don't make several of the same threads. If there's already a discussion about a certain topic, put your comments in that thread. Makes it much easier to find. If you plan to go off the current topic, try and start a new thread.
3. We try to keep the comments to a G/PG rating, but some times people can get carried away, so be prepared. If metaphors, subtlety and mild adult content offend you, then be warned. Remember, though: it's all in fun. If you're gonna get into high-rated details (nothing above PG-13 to abide by the forum's terms of service policy), put a warning at the top of the post. All curse words are edited.
4. Spoilers! Be warned that if you haven't seen a certain movie/performance, don't read the thread/posts about it, unless you don't mind reading about the plot, etc. Please be considerate when posting spoilers. Some people don't like them being sprung on them, so give some warning.
5. Please treat each other with respect (this goes for comments about Dudley and his family, so no bashing any of them and no rumour spreading). If you attack another member, you'll be warned and then banned, if you don't stop. If the offense is extremely bad, then no warning will be given, and you will be instantly banned (from the forum and the main site). Your ISP is logged and you will be reported to your internet provider for harassment. Same goes for logging in as other members. Use the username you chose when you registered, not someone elses!
6. If you have any problems (technical stuff, another member bothering you, etc.), post them in the correct place, or send me a PM and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
7. Feel free to start your own threads, but please don't start threads with ALL CAPS because it makes them stand out more and that's not fair to the other posters who have threads of their own. Also, make sure the topic hasn't already been threaded elsewhere. Try and put the topics in the correct board locations (if you're not sure, just guess; I can move it if need be).
8. If you don't like Dudley, then don't even bother posting anything here. This is a message board for fans of his.
9. Some categories/boards may be locked from Guest viewing. If you wanna see all the forum has to offer, become a registered member (it's fast and free).
10. Have fun! These rules may seem like a lot, but I'm just trying to keep things neat and clean. Don't be discouraged from posting.

Real-life drunk? « Result #7 on Feb 20, 2009, 8:55pm »
I saw a website where someone was talking about "Arthur" and said Dudley was a real-life drunk. I posted a response to his defense but I think it got lost in the crowd, or people just didn't care. But it makes me sad that people assume because he played a drinking character that he was actually one in real life. And even more sad if they listened to the rumours later in his life about him being drunk when it was the PSP symptoms causing the illusion of being drunk.

More recent performances? « Result #8 on Feb 19, 2009, 2:33am »
I ran into a little sample video from when he died and they had some footage of him in later years doing a piano concert (with glasses, yay) and it was such a tease. I wish there was a concert from the 90's out there on DVD (or ANY format that I could get my hands on). I've just about wore out An Audience With DM and Jazz In Oz, but I'd totally love to see a later concert. Something more serious (not that I don't laugh at the silly parts in the other concerts) with more classical music. I like the jazz but there's something about classical and how he looked so intense while playing it. The jazz tunes seemed more upbeat and fun making him look happy and carefree (which is good). But classical is more my style and I just love the whole feeling and look of it.

Re: Rothschild vs. Moore « Result #9 on Feb 16, 2009, 11:47pm »
He left Nicole the money because she had never worked, had no job skills and he wanted to make sure their son always has a roof over his head. Now if she actually uses that money for Nicolas and not herself, I'd be surprised.

Rothschild vs. Moore « Result #10 on Feb 9, 2009, 12:18am »
Reposting this from my site so I don't have to retype it. What are everyone's thoughts on this book? Dudley's 4th/last ex-wife Nicole Rothschild is publishing a book, due out this year, about her life with him. Apparently she feels the need to talk about the good times and the "extremely ugly" times that they had, including his attempt at choking her and her punching and kicking him to the ground afterwards. She'll also fill us in on how he was smoking crystal meth and made her dance semi-naked for hours at a time and when she got tired, he hired prostitutes to continue. I find it strange that they had problems from a month into the relationship, the whole abuse thing happened and then they got married anyway, then the marriage lasted an entire 4 years before they divorced. If it was that bad, I don't think I'd have stuck around no matter how many good times there were. I also find it strange that he remained friends with all his other ex-wives and I don't recall ever hearing any horrible abuse/drug stories like these from them.
Either way, she's said to have cooled down since his death and isn't putting the book out for the money (since she supposedly got half of his money when he died....though not sure why he'd leave her all that if the relationship was that violent). I've read that he banned her from his own funeral, so leaving her that sum of money seems odd. Or really generous. Perhaps it was for their child rather than her?
I also recall reading that her drug-using ex-husband lived with her and Dudley. I don't know the situation there, but it doesn't seem very normal to me.
Oh, well. These are just my opinions. For all I know she's a really nice person who's just trying to explain her side of things so people don't think of her as the psycho ex-wife of Dudley Moore. But I really think it's going to tarnish his name when/if people read these horrible stories about him. I doubt there will be proof of any kind provided in the book, and I don't remember reading/hearing about these incidences from other sources over the years (other than Dudley's arrest for alleged abuse being documented, but even she said they were both drinking and it wasn't his fault, then they got married shortly after), so I don't think I'll be reading/buying it. Unless it has some nice photos, of course. But I have no interest in reading about his bad side when it's obvious he already had problems in his life since he was little. Not sure why someone would marry a guy they know falls into depressive states and loves sex/women. It's not like those things were secrets so if it's not something you feel you can deal with, don't pursue the relationship. *shrug*
