"At his place on the Boulevard Raspail I was greeted by Mrs. Joyce, and although there was a legend that Joyce's eyes were weak, it was evident that he had used eyesight in choosing his wife."
--Robert McAlmon,
Being Geniuses Together
Half a Sixpence
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.
