Dudley Moore Stays Strong


Comedy legend DUDLEY MOORE has accepted he will die soon - but he's still holding on to his anger.

The ARTHUR star suffers from progressive supranuclear palsy, which is destroying his nervous system and killing him slowly. He says, "I did get angry, but there's not much point. I can't make peace with it - because I know I'm going to die from it. "It is totally mysterious, the way this disease attacks you and eats you up and spits you out. There's always a feeling, 'Why did it hit me?' "I am angry that's true. That I should be reduced to this insignificant version of myself - it's overpowering."
