Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

The death of a British Olympic skier, and Oscar-winning singer: Noel Harrison
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Noel Harrison, whose death was announced yesterday, skied for Britain at the 1952 (Oslo) and 1956 (Cortina) Winter Olympics. Maybe Noel's most famous achievement, though, was recording a timeless Top Ten hit 'The Windmills of Your Mind' (by the French composer Michel Legrand) in 1968. Its success was assured when it featured in the Steve McQueen/Faye Dunaway movie 'The Thomas Crown Affair' ... because the song won an Oscar.

Noel Harrison was the son of actor Sir Rex Harrison.

Quote:
Noel was educated at Radley — but not for long. When he was 15 his mother, by now living in Switzerland with a ski instructor, offered him a simple choice: “She said, 'Would you like to stay at Radley and try and get a scholarship to Oxbridge, or would you like to come and live with me and try and get into the British ski team?’”

He went on to become a British ski champion, competing in the 1952 Oslo Winter Olympics, when he finished 56th in the slalom, and in the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d’Ampezzo, when he finished 20th.


That song ...

In 'The Thomas Crown Affair' ...

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?
