Dudley once owned a Pekingese dog named Kong.

Dudley has a sister, named Barbara Stevens. She is 10 years older than Dudley.

People were taken aback when reading about Dudley's sexual ethos in a remarkably candid Playboy interview. He said he believed in sleeping with as many women as possible, and that he believed in the "meaningful one-night stand or one-week stand or one-year stand." He liked romantic, passionate, huggable women with a sense of humor, but not with huge intellect; for that he had his books.

After his divorce from British actress Suzy Kendall, Dudley married three Americans, including the not entirely sane American actress Tuesday Weld, with whom he had a baby. They divorced after breaking up and reuniting 20 times. Weld then had an affair with Martin Mull and restarted an affair with Al Pacino. Dudley had a romance with Marthe Keller, an old girlfriend of Pacino's, who had also lived with the woman Dudley had an affair with when he was married to Suzy Kendall. And Weld's ex-husband was now living with the woman with whom Dudley had had an affair during her marriage to his best friend.

In Hollywood, for breakfast, Dudley would eat two plates of trout surrounded by brussels sprouts, broccoli, green beans, mange-tout and cabbage, liberally sprinkled with powdered seaweed concentrate, followed by papayas, figs and nuts. That was it for the day.

The actor Bronson Pinchot tells this story: He once told Dudley that his mother had seen a production of The Sound of Music with a thickly accented German woman playing the Mother Superior. When she asked Maria, in the famous soul-searching convent scene, "What is it you can't face?" the last two words came out sounding quite another way. "Dudley thought this was the funniest thing he'd ever heard," said Pinchot, "and after that he would always come on the set and say to me, 'What is it, you c^nt-face?' and dissolve into laughter. People always thought he was being mean to this little American actor."

Dudley was an obsessive masturbator from the age of six, making use of his father's dirty magazines and rubbing the result into the carpet beside his bed, so that the carpet ended up looking like "sculpted grass," which puzzled his mother. His mother once caught him masturbating with his hand in his pocket, at the exact moment that a coloratura soprano on the radio hit a high note. His mother said, "This woman is singing the highest note that's ever been sung don't do that dear." Thereafter, he found coloratura opera a useful accompaniment to self-fulfillment.

Dudley adored his sister Barbara. She had green eyes, an overbite was 5'8". Dudley always found these qualities attractive.

Not long after 1997, after several minor heart-attacks, it was discovered that Dudley had a hole in his heart. He had to have open-heart surgery. He had surgery in September of 1997, at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, to repair a blocked artery.

Dudley has suffered four strokes.

Even after Dudley embarked on his lifelong career of sexual bliss at every possible opportunity, he still found himself unworthy. His fashion model girlfriend Celia Hammond remembers him keeping his sock on in the bath to conceal his hoof-like foot.

Dudley told Playboy that Women were the obsession of his life. "What else is there to live for? Chinese food and women. There is nothing else. And one's desire for another person is the most flattering thing you can take from that person. Sex is the most important part of anybody's life. The ability to enjoy your sex life is central. I don't give a sh!t about anything else. My obsession is total.

According to Susan Anton, Dudley loved falling in love. But he couldn't accept that someone could know him thoroughly and still love him. He messed up every relationship he had. With the ones he intended to be permanent, the temporary ones, the ones who wanted his money, the kind ones and the insane ones.

Dudley's last two marriages were disasters. Even as he walked out of the church with his third wife, the gorgeous Brogan Lane, he was still having an affair with his louche longtime mistress Nicole Rothschild and would continue to do so. "I used to think all men were my father, and he thought all women were his mother, so we probably didn't have a very adult relationship going on," Lane said, sadly, after their divorce.

Like Lane, Rothschild was dyslexic. She also suffered from attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity; she was neurotically bound to her drug-addicted ex-husband Charles Cleveland; already not very bright, she had a stroke at 28 that left her not quite as bright as before. Dudley loved her and married her, although he was having another shiny new affair, and he paid for her two breast enlargement operations, supported her, her kids, her four sisters, her mother, her ex-husband Charles and his mother.

Dudley and Nicole Rothschild had a child, Nicholas, and then she began spiralling out of control. Drugs played a part in the spiralling. Dudley and Nicole fought constantly, including the occasion when Rothschild beat Paskin, the author of Dudley's autobiography, to a pulp in front of a horrified Dudley. Then Nicole told the papers about Dudley's edgier forays into the sexual world. He liked to watch her make love with other women. He declined to have sex with Nicole, and out of some bizarre motive of kindness, she would hire prostitutes to service him, although he never let her watch. Nicole evidently beat him up at some point.

"I've been having a mid-life crisis since I was two weeks old," Dudley has said.

Dudley, who endured eight years of surgeries on his foot, was left alone in hospitals alongside screaming, dying soldiers and developed "a real fear of abandonment."

Only moments after a drunken wedding ceremony with Nicole Rothschild in 1994, Dudley, lifting a glass of red wine, told The Sunday Mirror, "I am told I will regret doing this!"

After Nicole and Dudley married at his house in Marina Del Ray, California, in April of 1994, Dudley fell on the beach while playfully chasing Nicole after the ceremony,

In August of 1995, Dudley moved out of his and Nicole's home, only six weeks after their son, Nicholas, was born.

On the 22nd of January of 1996, Dudley rolled his Lexus 150 feet down a hill, near Telluride, when he skidded along a snowy mountain road in a Colorado blizzard. Walking away from the accident with only cuts and bruises, he was shaken up, but performed a piano concert the following day. During the accident, he was wearing his seatbelt.

Peter Cook has said, about Dudley, "Underneath Dudley's superficial charm and warmth lurks a demented sadist, capable in private of unspeakable deeds." Dudley's insatiable desire and struggle between love and lust was an ongoing battle. "I sometimes hate women for having such an effect on me," he told Playboy. "I want to murder them and love them and embrace them and die in them and live in them...." Appeared in the "Voices That Care" music video, singing in the choir.
