(20469) Dudleymoore Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 13 July 1999 by J. Broughton at Reedy Creek.
Pint-sized British comedy actor and musician, Dudley Moore (1935-2002) collaborated with Peter Cook and others to help create the 1960's satire boom that has been reverberating ever since. “Pete and Dud” are fondly remembered for their obtuse dialogues in guise as working-class lads in raincoats.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 2, #16, 4), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
