BTW, in 1972, our first night in London and the very first play we saw in London, was "Larry" in "Long Day's Journey Into Night" for 30p (75 cents at the time...them was days...)

One stereotype down the drain
After our swim at the Waterfront Centre Friday we went to a matinee at the Denman Cinemas and saw "My Week with Marilyn" based on a true story by Colin Clark (Sir Kenneth Clark's son) about his time working on a film with Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier. We really enjoyed the film and had lots of familiar faces in various roles and Kenneth Branaugh was great as "Larry". I've always dismissed Marilyn Monroe as some talentless airhead and have never seen any of her films. This film got me interested and we watched "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds" last night on Netflix. I was quite blown away by her comedic talent. Reading Wikipedia.... a rather sad life and dead at 36. I raise a glass to you, Marilyn.

From "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds". Marilyn singing "Diamonds are a girl's best friend".
