Been reading Elizabeth Taylor’s Angel (deliciously awful heroine). I don’t believe in reincarnation. But if I did, my money is that Elizabeth Taylor was once called Maria Edgeworth. @bookstodon

3 things about Brian G. Hutton’s ZEE AND CO. [1972]

1. “There’s nothing I hate more than soulful people. She’s always a little out of breath and sees beauty in everything. Especially in shit.”
2. Margaret Leighton’s enormous wig and glasses.
3. Dumping his suitcase on the hood of his car.

🎬 "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" (1966) is screening at .

won the for her performance as "Martha." is her husband "George."

It's a juicy role, full of venom and rage, and Taylor went absolutely *beyond and DGAF what anyone thought!

Must-see, if you haven't. It's full of shouting and drinking and some violence, so not for everyone.

We're watching a programme in in and I just have to share my favourite photo from our visit there a few years ago. We were at - a restaurant frequented by and while he was filming - and one old local nearby decided to us, thinking we couldn't see him. My speed is legendary. His mate saw me shoot, laughed, told his friend I'd caught him, and he shuffled off quickly.
