Ik bladerde afgelopen weekend een boek door over jaren '50 sterren en hun auto's. Daar kwam ik David Niven tegen met zijn tijdsoriginele Hjördis Paulina Tersmeden. Over hun ontmoeting:
"I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life — tall, slim, auburn hair, uptilted nose, lovely mouth and the most enormous grey eyes I had ever seen. It really happened the way it does when written by the worst lady novelists...I goggled. I had difficulty swallowing and had champagne in my knees."
