Never heard this one before! Found this mention in an article on one Miss Eleanor Thornton, secretary of an English bureaucrat whose beautiful figure served as the model for various works of art including the hood ornament of a Rolls Royce: www.nytimes.com/2009/03/08/automobiles/autoshow/08ghost.htmlThe legend of her beauty, and the tragedy of her short life, has inspired auto enthusiasts, songwriters, poets and the art community (which has produced knockoffs of all sizes). Now, a film company has announced it will make a movie about Miss Thornton. It is to star Christian Bale and be directed by Sir Richard Attenborough . The project has the support of the heirs of Lord Montagu.
_______________ Was this ever mentioned in trades?
