You've got her Sheba and the island I was referring to is Bali Hai from the movie South Pacific over to you for a pic

Nancy "Ka Shen" Kwan (traditional Chinese: ; simplified Chinese: ; pinyin: Gun Jiqiàn; born May 19, 1939)[1] is a Hong Kong-born American actress, who played a pivotal role in the acceptance of actors of Asian ancestry in major Hollywood film roles.

Early career

Stage producer Ray Stark posted an advertisement in the Hong Kong Tiger Standard (later renamed The Standard) regarding auditions for the character Suzie Wong for a play. The ad asked applicants to present their pictures, résumés, and proportions.[10] Kwan submitted the application[10] and was discovered by Stark in a film studio constructed by her architect father.[16][17] After auditioning for Stark, she was asked to screen test to play a character in the prospective film The World of Suzie Wong.[2] Stark preferred Kwan over the other women because she "would have more universal acceptance". Another auditionee, French actress France Nuyen, played the stage version of the role and had been called a "businessman's delight" by a number of reviewers. Stark disliked this characterization, as well as "happy harlot" characters such as Melina Mercouri in Never on Sunday. Stark wanted an Asian actress because slanting the eyes of a white actress would merely look artificial. He also praised Kwan's features: an "acceptable face" and "being alluringly leggy [and] perfectly formed".https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Kwan

Spot on Chris.  Off you go.

 

Dame Cleo Laine, Lady Dankworth, DBE (born 28 October 1927) is an English jazz and pop singer and an actress, known for her scat singing and for her vocal range. Though her natural range is that of a contralto, she is able to produce a G above high C, giving her an overall compass of well over three octaves.[1]

Laine is the only female performer to have received Grammy nominations in the jazz, popular and classical music categories. She is the widow of jazz composer Sir John Dankworth

Gday...

I have no knowledge of "good old tawny ports" ... but these are the top English ports apparently -

  • Fonseca Crusted Port
  • Ramos Pinto
  • Grahams
  • Warres Otima
  • Kopke
  • Taylors
  • Krohn Colheita
  • Berry Bros & Rudd William Pickering
  • Waitrose Symington Family

Google search for "British Knight Batchelor OBE. solo musician" got these results -

I reckon I feel jest like that Pink Floyd song - I'm just another brick in the wall. cry

....and I'm hittin' me head on it.

Cheers - John
