Celebrity friends of tragic Dudley Moore have paid tribute to the actor/pianist who died yesterday (27th March 2002).

Moore died after failing to battle off a bout of pneumonia, complicated by his rare progressive supranuclear palsy brain disorder - related to Parkinson's Disease.

Liza Minnelli, his co-star in hit movie Arthur (1981), broke off from her honeymoon to say, "Dudley was a unique individual. I'll miss him dearly. " Moore's Foul Play co-star Chevy Chase says, "I loved him dearly and thank God he suffers no more. "
