(1908–1992)
Anecdote...
Morley once met an old friend, fellow actor Llewellyn Rees, whom he had not seen for some time.
"It's nice meeting old friends," said Rees warmly. "A lot of people think I'm dead."
"Not if they look closely," said Morley.
Biographical Note...

He was also well known for his edited collections of humorous anecdotal writing.
Robert Morley quotes:
“It is a great help for a man to be in love with himself. For an actor, however, it is absolutely essential.”
