A Sample: Richard Burton bought his wife, Elizabeth Taylor, the famous La Peregrina pearl. She had a pajama party with some friends, including fashion designer Vicky Tiel, and served fried chicken and champagne. At the party, she showed off the pearl. At one point in the evening, however, she looked at the black velvet box the pearl had come in and screamed, 'Oh, my god!' The pearl was missing. At first, they thought that the room-service waitress must have stolen the pearl but they realized that she had not been near it. That meant that one of the people present must have taken the pearl-or perhaps it was lost. They searched for it a long time, but fell asleep. The next morning Elizabeth’s guests woke up first and worried about telling Mr. Burton that the pearl was missing. Mr. Burton walked into the room and woke up Elizabeth and handed the pearl to her, saying, 'Here, I found your dog in his bed chewing on this.'

The director decided that the credits would feature a scene with the characters of the play eating a meal. No actual dialogue would be heard on TV during the rolling of the credits, only a murmur under some music. This left the cast free to...
