| | |  The drinks are on Dumbledore
The late great Richard Harris, who played Dumbledore in ' Philosopher's Stone' and ' Chamber of Secrets', reportedly became popular at a Manhattan bar when he failed to charge customers for drinks. Quote:
The late Harry Potter star, famed for his wild lifestyle and heavy drinking, offered to help out at a friends Manhattan bar, but quickly became popular with customers for failing to charge for drinks and giving away numerous bottles of expensive champagne.
Harris finally gave McCourt an envelope, saying: "Inside is a cheque to cover everything I have given away during those weeks."

That's great news. Richard Harris was a drink slinger and forgot to charge the costumers. I bet the costumers was happy he was around!

That was funny, i bet the costumers weren't complaining
McCourt, hmm i've heard that name before. *goes to read the article* yeah. I read his brothers memiores(sp?) "Angela's Ashes". It's a great book, and the movie is very funny, I recomemend it.

It's good to see he repaid his debt, but all that drinking was eventually the cause of his earlier death. I wish he would have taken better care of himself.

Too true... and he went and encouraged others. *Sigh* Now we've lost a great actor! I guess there's a lesson there.

 God bless him. I knew he was the type a guy you wanted to go to a bar with. How awesome! He just has that charisma and great acting that you can't help but like him!

Wow, I'd never knew he had never paid his debt until now. Of course, that was very generous of him  .
