Richard Harris Facts
By the time he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease in August 2002 it was so advanced that there was no hope of recovery.

He spent the last 12 years of his life living in Room 758 at the world-famous Savoy Hotel in London. His room was located in the "Courtside" section of the hotel. It did have a view of the river, but not as fine a view as the "Hotel" section riverside rooms. He only had his room cleaned once a week and very rarely notified the hotel that he was out of his room, so they had to check his door ten times a day to see if his "Do Not Disturb" sign flipped around to say "Make Up My Room".

Harris, Peter O'Toole, and Richard Burton were drinking buddies from the early 1970s till Burton's Death.
