Dudley Moore, the short in stature actor best known for 1979's 10 and 1981's Arthur, died at his New Jersey home today at the age of 66. The cause of death was pneumonia, a complication of his progressive supranuclear palsy.

The British born actor, who did for the average drunk in Arthur what Kevin Costner did to the average baseball fan in Field Of Dreams, was best known for his charming roles, in which he was able to overcome his lack of height.

Hollywood will surely toast one to you tonight, Dudley.
