Trivia
Adopted his stage name from the Harvey Nichols Group.
First Lithuanian actor to be nominated for an Oscar.
Emigrated to South Africa at the age of 5 and grew up in Johannesburg, moving to London in 1946.
Although he considered himself British (as well as South African), he was also quite proud of his Yiddish-Lithuanian heritage.
His daughter, Domino Harvey, once a model, was a bounty hunter. She was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her Los Angeles home, June 27, 2005, dying that day in a hospital of an accidental overdose of the painkiller, Fentanyl, at age 35.
In the period of 1959-1965, he appeared opposite three winners of the Best Actress Academy Award: Simone Signoret in Room at the Top, Elizabeth Taylor in BUtterfield 8, and Julie Christie in Darling. In that period, he also starred with Best Actress Oscar nominee Geraldine Page in Summer and Smoke.
Is portrayed by Jesse Pate in Domino
Was cast in the film version of "The Long and The Short and The Tall" (1959), the hit West End play that made Peter O'Toole a stage star, as the Hollywood money-men would not accept O'Toole or second-choice Albert Finney in the role that went to Harvey, who was a known quantity in films.
While a teenager, he served in the South African Army's entertainment unit during World War Two.
His daughter, Domino Harvey, was born out-of-wedlock in Belgravia, London on August 7, 1969 to Vogue model Pauline Stone. Domino was the fruit of a three-year-long affair between Harvey and Stone during his second marriage to American multi-millionairess Joan Cohn. The former Joan Perry, she was Columbia Pictures boss Harry Cohn's widow and 17 years Harvey's senior. Harvey eventually divorced Cohn and married Stone shortly before his death from stomach cancer in 1973.
Appears briefly in a scene in Tony Richardson's 1968 version of The Charge of the Light Brigade, sitting in a theater audience near Trevor Howard as the crowd shouts out "Black bottle." Harvey had planned to make a film about the charge, even to the extent of bidding for the original Light Brigade bugle when it was up for auction in 1964. As part of a settlement with Woodfall Films, he was cast as a Russian prince in the film but his part was cut out completely except for this very brief (and uncredited) appearance in the final cut.
