...Lynda Bird told a friend, "it's all over." Chin waggers guessed that the rift really opened in July, when vacationing Lynda was left twiddling her toes in London for three weeks while George struggled unsuccessfully to escape from Aristotle Onassis' yacht in the Mediterranean.

Since opening night in 1952, more than 2,000,000 people have bought tickets to the tiny (435 seats) Ambassadors' Theatre, and 97 actors have peopled the play's eight roles.
