When Garland was found dead in the bathroom of her London home in 1969, Minnelli - the eldest of her three children - was only 23 years old.

NO. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS: No. Rowntree invented the Kit Kat in 1935, and Christopher Isherwood's book Goodbye To Berlin, on which the musical Cabaret was based, appeared in 1939. It's tempting to believe so. However, Isherwood named his 'boys' club' just off the Tauentzienstrasse The Lady Windermere.

At the glitzy dinner in Los Angeles, the duke was all smiles as he posed with Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe (left), who was once dubbed the 'King of Trash TV.' Prince Mario-Max's website claims links dating back to William of Orange, making him a very distant cousin of the British Royals.

ANN LESLIE: Paul Newman, Sophia Loren, Liza Minnelli, Sean Connery, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Samuel Connery, John Betjeman, Sammy Davis Jnr. .. .

Some of the actors wanted our chats to be more than chummy. David Niven (left), a worldwide symbol of the exemplary English gentleman, was one of many. We'd all meet up in London and he'd regale me with Hollywood tales about what he and his chum Errol Flynn will get up to in, as they christened it, 'Cirrhosis-on-Sea'.
