Good on ya, viajero - well done. And Spencer Tracy was excellent in the film "Judgment at Nuremberg". As was Maximilian Schell.

Born in 1890, I was born in Devon, England the youngest of three children in a conservative, well-to-do family. I was taught at home by a governess and never attended school.

I became very good a creating games to keep myself occupied at a very young age. A shy child, unable to express my feelings, I first turned to music as a means to expression and later in life to writing.

I married a World War 1 fighter pilot at the age of 24 and while he was at war I worked as a nurse. While working in the hospital I came up with the idea for my first novel which I finished in a year, although it wasn't published until five years later.

I divorced my husband in 1926 when he told me that he had fallen in love with another woman. I was so upset by this that I disappeared and was found three weeks later by the police. I claimed to have lost my memory and never mentioned this time in my life again.

I re-married a young archaeologist in 1930 and I wrote over 66 novels in my career. One of my most enduring characters was often described as "meticulous, a tidy little man, always neat and orderly, with a slight flavour of absurdity about him". I also wrote numerous short stories and screenplays and a series of romantic novels using the pen name of Mary Westmacott.

Who am I?

I dunno....I always thought Coors was Colorado River piss water. I've traveled around Europe a bunch & developed a taste for their beers...much more body & flavor (not including those bloody Brit Stouts, bitter molasses served at room temp)
Interesting point: The Czech's have surpassed Germany in annual per capita consumption of beer. When I visited my son's office in Prague for the first time 15 years ago, at 10 AM they sent the secretary down to get a tray full of beers!...beats the hell out of the Brits "afternnoon tea." Also, when Mexico wanted to develop a brewing industry, they went to the Czech's & Germans...Want A good Czech-type beer in Mexico? It ain't called BOHEMIA for nuttin...
