“ALL ABOUT EVE” LIVE FROM STAGE TO CINEMA SCREEN

“All About Eve” an all new stage production based on the 1950 movie starring Bette Davis and Anne Baxter, hit Londons West End at the start of February 2019.

But for those unwilling to travel to London for fear of disappointment that it won’t live up to the cinematic brilliance of the film (but then, what could?) the “National Theatre Live” company will be broadcasting the preformance LIVE in selected cinemas across the UK for one night only on April 11th 2019.

MARILYN THEMED BUNGLOW AT THE BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL

The Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles has revealed a newly refurbished bungalow paying tribute to movie icon Marilyn Monroe, who used to frequent the Hotel.

A few of the amenities that come with the 1,670-square-foot space for the main suite:

* A library featuring Monroe books and films, including the musical comedies “Some Like It Hot” and “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.”
* A Chanel No. 5 perfume bar (Monroe once said the iconic fragrance was the only thing she wore to bed) as well as bath amenities
* A bubble bath inspired from “Some Like it Hot.”

They have spared no expense on details and there has even been a menu created inspired by some of Monroe’s favourite dishes:: Prawn Cocktail, Heirloom Carrot Salad, DiMaggio’s Spaghetti and Meatballs (that would be named after her former husband, baseball legend Joe) and Grilled New York Steak.

The bungalow is priced starting at $8,500 a night for the main suite.
