CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

A little posterity must always be nice
"Luckily, West End audiences seem to rather like very old people."
"When you're young, you're stupid."
"I think a little posterity must always be nice. After I'm dead I'll probably be a cult and they'll have entire seasons of me at the National Film Theatre. Thank God I won't have to watch them all."
Shockingly, I have seen no sign of anything to mark the centenary of such a British acting legend...
Dame Wendy Hiller (15 August 1912 – 14 May 2003)
