Carlsberg for breakfast |
| CM writes: "In the early 80s, I was the manager at the Coffee Shop in the Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch. Miss Eartha Kitt was staying at the hotel for a few days whilst she was performing at the Hippodrome. We were informed she would be joining us for 'breakfast'. "She appeared alone at noon in a beaded cocktail dress, huge heels and full slap. "'Miss Kitt, it's an honour to have you here. The staff would be extremely grateful if you would sign a menu for them,' I said. "'Daaaahlink, I'll sign anything for you if you bring me a beer,' she growled. "And that was her 'breakfast' for three days. Precisely at noon, she would arrive alone in a slinky, fabulous dress and 'breakfast' was two bottles of Carlsberg and a long, fine cigar."  we love Eartha don’t we? |
