    I remember playing the part of Bart at our play in 10th grade. We had to do the play 4 times in one day so every student and teachers at school can watch us on schedule because our conference hall can only accommodate about 200-250 people at once. So I also had to soak on a drum filled with water and get wet 4 times to justify bartly dying at sea. Funny part is my classmates (valedictorian and honor student) who were playing as my sisters tickles me on my side to make the dead come alive and frighten the pre and middle schoolers. 😂

    Christopher Robbins book, 'The Empress Of Ireland' is a heart-warming and frequently hysterical account of the author's time working with Hurst on an epic biblical film that was never to make it to the screen. By this time Hurst's career was all but over, due to a combination of old-age, alcoholism, genteel poverty and eccentricity, yet his irrepressible 'joie de vivre' leaps from every page. Highly recommended. xx SF
