During the 1970s, Richard Harris lived such a wild lifestyle that he reportedly forgot he owned a Rolls-Royce. The car remained parked in a New York garage for 25 years until Harris discovered an old photograph of himself with the vehicle. After contacting his accountant, he learned the Rolls-Royce was still there — along with nearly $90,000 in accumulated storage fees. Richard Harris lived a life of excess that became closely tied to his public image. The Irish actor, later introduced to a younger audience as the original Albus Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter films, spent much of the 1960s and 1970s embracing the era’s hard-partying celebrity lifestyle, including heavy drinking and periods of disappearing from public view. His forgotten Rolls-Royce became one of the most unusual stories from that chapter of his life. Harris reportedly received a Rolls-Royce Phantom V connected to his work on the 1965 war film The Heroes of Telemark. At some point, he left the vehicle in a New York garage and seemingly forgot about it entirely. Around 25 years later, after discovering an old photograph of himself with the car, Harris reportedly asked his former wives if they remembered the Rolls-Royce. Neither had any answers. His accountant eventually confirmed that he still owned the vehicle and that it had been sitting in storage in New York for decades, with one widely repeated account estimating the accumulated garage fees at around $92,000. The car was eventually returned to Britain and restored, becoming another legendary story from Harris’s unpredictable life. It matched the image of a man who once jokingly described himself as a “millionaire tramp.” Harris later quit drinking in the early 1980s and experienced a career resurgence that led to his casting as Albus Dumbledore. He died in 2002 at the age of 72, shortly before the release of the second Harry Potter film.(Historic Vids)
