“On the day we filmed the scene, a bee stung me. I screamed and cried so much they called a doctor, and my father said, "It can't hurt that badly!" But it wasn't the pain that upset me, it was the thought that I mightn't be in the film. Already the little professional.” LittlesSaidPainFilmActorsFatherHurtActingSceneAmbitionDoctorsUpsetBeesCried Author:Natasha Richardson
“At a tender age, I commandeered half a quire of foolscap from my father's desk and sat down to write a book. ...I had observed onprinted fly leaves the words "By the author of, etc." ...So under the title of my prospective work I wrote: By the author of "Les Miserables," "The Woman in White," "Dombey and Son," "Tom Brown's Schooldays" and "Our Life in the Highlands," the last-named being an opus of good Queen Victoria. I had not read all these works but they existed on our bookshelves, and I hoped to produce something worthy of comparison.” WritingBookAgeLastsFatherWhiteHalfOur LivesProduceSonAmbitionWorthyTitlesQueensSatBrownEtcComparisonTomsDesksVictoriaBookshelves Author:Rheta Childe Dorr
