Wow, I forgot that he wrote cookbooks...he also had a line of paintings for
Sears and wrote art appreciaton books IIRC. What we used to call a
"Renaissance Man", he was cultured and had many interests...

His wife, the wonderful Australian - born actress Coral Browne, is one of my
favorites. She plays the starchy BBC exec Mercy Croft in the hilarious
******* classic _The Killing Of Sister George_...nobody did the disapproving
tone - raised eyebrow thing better than she. When I have a few pops in me I
sometimes like to imitate her, lol...

I bet parties at their home were the best in town, they must have been so
much fun to be around...
