In case you're wondering, he was the guy who played the amputee in The Best Years of Our Lives. There's a very good obituary of him in The Times (London, that is):

An inspirational performance by an inspirational fellow.

You know, I know a girl who was born with only one arm and she goes on about her business as though it is perfectly usual to have just one arm.

Courage like this makes me feel like I don't really have much to complain about at all.

Goodbye, Harold. And thanks for one of the most memorable screen performances of all time.
