The Arm & Hammer Company was not founded by Armand Hammer. It was in fact founded 31 years before his birth. He was, however, a major stock-holder in the company. He invested so deeply simply because he was so often asked if he founded it.
John Cleese and Terry Gilliam met while appearing in a West End production of the musical Half a Sixpence, starring Tommy Steele. It was in the same production that Cleese met his future wife Connie Booth. The book for Half a Sixpence was written by Beverley Cross, later married to Maggie Smith.
I think it heartbreaking that Philip Seymour Hoffman and Mark Rylance never worked together. Matthew Warchus directed them both and certainly thought of them as artists with a deep kinship.
