I’m going to come out about something, so I can’t back out of seeing it through to completion. Not that I would want to anyway.
Thanks to WhatsApp, I’m working with Prue on her memoir. Some of the cultural references she makes are challenging. She mentioned the name Diaghilev. When I pleaded ignorance, she added the name Nijinsky, and thanks to that I found this documentary.

The video is narrated by Tilda Swinton, who played Dr. Strange’s teacher the Ancient One. Hah! So my Marvel Comics background isn’t completely irrelevant.
One of Prue’s earliest memories is of a German V1 rocket overhead in London. They were called Buzz Bombs or, as she remembers them being called, Doodlebugs.
