Oops. Didn’t notice the third page. Heh. Ignore that last post. I have no idea who Mel Ferrer is. ---

> [@Aesiron](#): > > I have no idea who Mel Ferrer is. He’s one of those guys who you might sort of recognize but probably couldn’t get his name. He also was married to Audrey Hepburn. _Sex and the Single Girl_\* \*Extra bonus points for anyone who can name two of the writers for this film (no peaking!) Helen Gurley Brown wrote the book, and Joseph Heller helped adapt it for the silver screen. Rene Zellweger’s character Barbara Novak, from _Down with Love_ has to be at least loosely based on Brown. ---

The first factoid is self-evident (to those of us of a certain age, at least) – I’d been unaware of the second. Stubby Kaye. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Stubby Kaye. _Li’l Abner_ I’m about five years younger than you, **twicks** , and also knew the name of the original writer of _Sex and the Single Girl_ while being unaware of the identity of the adapter. So I guess “of a certain age” encompasses at least those Dopers born between 1954 and '59. ---
