Trivia Portrayed Alfred P. Doolittle in the original Broadway stage version of My Fair Lady and reprised her role in the movie My Fair Lady (1964). Prior to going into show business, he worked as a porter on the Billingsgate fish market. In My Fair Lady (1964), he was the only member of the main cast to do his own singing. Rex Harrison and Wilfrid Hyde-White talked their way through their songs, while Audrey Hepburn and Jeremy Brett were dubbed. Almost backed out of the original Broadway production of "My Fair Lady" during rehearsals, when he felt that director Moss Hart wasn`t paying enough attention to his character. Finally, Hart took him aside and said, "Look, Stanley, I have my hands full with a leading man who`s never starred in a musical before and a leading lady who`s never played the lead in a musical before. You`ve done both. So, if I DON`T talk to you, you should take it as a compliment." Holloway burst out laughing and never brought up the subject again. Holloway appeared with Rex Harrison in the stage production of "My Fair Lady". Harrison had a reputation for being very abrupt with his fans. One night after a performance of the show, Holloway and Harrison left by the stage door. It was late, cold and pouring rain and there was an old woman standing alone outside the door. When she saw Harrison, she asked him for his autograph. He told her to "Sod off", and she was so enraged at this that she rolled up her program and hit Harrison with it. Holloway congratulated him on not only making theater history, but, for the first time in world history, "the fan has hit the shit." Was nominated for Broadway`s 1957 Tony Award as Best Supporting or Featured Actor (Musical) in "My Fair Lady," a role he recreated in an Oscar-nominated performance in the film version of the same name, My Fair Lady (1964). | ||
