Saw Chaplin's "A dog's life" in 2018 to mark the film's 100 years, accompanied by a Chamber Orchestra. Great experience. Movies. Brilliant stuff
Hard to believe a link to that era was still around in 2020.

TMQ and ath are going to be devastated.
I've long been fascinated by the huge stretch of time between Baby Peggy's peak of fame and the present day. Incredible that someone who was an irrelevant hasbeen by the time The Great Gatsby was published was still alive in 2020.
It must be disorientating for a once-huge star to quite possibly outlive their entire contemporary fanbase. It should be almost impossible for a celebrity to live beyond all first-hand memories of their stardom, but then most people her age are probably too young to remember her. She lived to see her fans become 100% second-hand – people taking a historical interest, far removed from Peggymania. When's the last time she'd have heard from anyone who was authentically nostalgic for her? I don't know of any other figure who was a living relic in quite the same way.
