e is for eleanor bron

how can i talk about eleanor bron without sounding totally 'lesbo?' oh well, i'll guess i'll risk it. she's so dark, so beautiful. she is the english actress who starred alongside the beatles in their first color feature 'help!' as ahme, the eastern turncoat who undermined her own customs to protect the lives of the fab four (and specifically ringo) from a pagan execution. she also turned in dazzling perfomances in such films as 'bedazzaled,' (the original 'bedazzled,' where she played margaret spencer, the object of dudley moore's affection) and in ken russell's 'women in love,' wherein she shamelessly stole scenes as the melodramatic and theatrical hermoine. in more recent years, she killed it, i mean she shredded it, the scenery, in the 1995 production of 'a little princess,' directed by alfonso cuaron. she played the shrewish and cruel (and beautiful) headmistress miss minchin. and on the 'beatle trivia' angle, it is reported that she was the one paul mccartney had in mind when he wrote 'eleanor rigby.' (i didn't make that up.) ahhh, eleanor... why won't you publish your memoirs? the stories you could tell...
