A couple more tidbits from my first recorded conversation with Prue.
In this clip Prue explains why her father decided the family should stay in England after the war, rather than return to Belgium.
Prue had this funny comment about being a ballet student and seeing Moira Shearer.
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.
I’ve asked Prue what she knows about this photo, but so far she hasn’t said. Such long hair! The Ferguson TV set is a British brand, so I know she wasn’t in New York.
The novelization of Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood is out, and as befits the material, there’s no hardcover edition.
Here’s an interesting photo I found, that Prue was surprised to see.
The caption on back explains the situation. Prue was the compère, or host, for the event. Note the reference to Noel Harrison.
The big tease is on, for Peter Jackson’s upcoming reimagining of Let It Be the film! There’s a preview over on Vanity Fair.
I’m Down no longer! I’ll Feel Fine if this is the first movie I see in a theater after 18 months.
Follow-up: @#$%^&* Disney!
