David Niven used to doff his hat at me every morning when he was out for his early morning walk & an Earl of repute was having an affair with the woman in the flat upstairs where I worked and I would get a nod from him as he was leaving in the morning !!!! .... and that’s just a couple of instances !!! Like you, I met quite a few famous people but, they were just people at the end of the day and wanted to be treated as such. I wasn’t really fazed by any of them were you ? Some were nicer than others... some were a bit diva ish !! Stravinsky is a bit of a biggy though 🤣 XXXXJacqueline @ HOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06154045482594773377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-62826700654305114152019-02-24T11:16:11.139+00:002019-02-24T11:16:11.139+00:00There were others too.
