- He has commented on the positive influence Taylor has had on his life: ‘a combination of Edith Cavell and Julia Child ... a nurse and a cook. I feel guilty sometimes that I denied her a wonderful life, that she's wasted it on some terrible old ham. She could have married a duke or a prince! And she knows it. But being British, you see, she never complains. She's very well trained.’ (Wikipedia)
Happy Wedding Anniversary Christopher and Elaine!
