And Don't Drink The Chanel

I don't know if this is true or not, but it is one great story. At least something good came out of the Benjamin Button movie. Yeah, yeah. Some of you loved it, but I bet many of you disliked it also. It certainly is not 13 Oscar nominations worthy. Anyway, in the movie, two of the actors were Jared Harris and Jason Flemyng. Jason's dad and Jared's dad who is the late Richard Harris were best friends and BIG drinkers. They even put me to shame.

Anyway, at one party at Elizabeth Taylor's house, her guests included Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Jason's dad, and Peter O'Toole. Well there was some drinking going on. In all honesty there was a lot of drinking going on. In fact there was so much drinking going on and things were getting so far out of hand that Elizabeth decided to kick everyone out of the house and send them home. When she went upstairs to her bedroom she found Richard Harris and Jason's dad chugging all of her Chanel No.5. They had decided that any alcohol would do and they were so far gone they didn't even care about the perfume after taste. They just wanted the alcohol in it. Well, Elizabeth screamed and yelled and the two men went running from the house, but not before they had scooped up the rest of her perfume as they ran for the door dodging everything she was throwing at them.
