Don't you love Coral Browne? So imperiously elegant yet pratfall-funny and blessed with a filthy mouth (at least according to a friend of mine who was a friend of hers).

HOBAC said...

AL - have you heard what she said regarding Ms York?

An Aesthete's Lament said...

Do divulge.

HOBAC said...

When doing the sex scene our dear Coral kept gagging -- not because of the scene, but because of Ms York's hygiene. Or rather lack of hygiene, seems she and Mr Soap were complete strangers.

Oh. My. Presumably the never-shy Coral said something direct about it. And withering.
