Was in The Knott on the Harbour in Bristol back in 1980 something ...... Went to visit the gents , opened the door to the corridor leading to it , and coming the other way was Arthur Miller , American author and playwright ...... I held the door open for him as he passed by .......
He had been in another part of the building giving a talk regarding his writing and plays , and was now passing through the bar on his way out .
As he walked through the bar , everyone got to their feet and gave him a standing ovation as he went by ........ Knowing most of those in the bar , the round of applause was most likely respect that he had shag...... , sorry , been married to Marilyn Monroe , rather than any deep rooted appreciation of his written works .........
A story regarding Arthur Miller and toilets concerns an account of what happened whilst he and Marilyn were dating ......
Arthur invited Marilyn back to meet his parents for dinner , at their townhouse in New York ....
During the meal , Marilyn decided she needed to use the bathroom , so she was given directions of where to find it , upstairs .
When she arrived there , she realised the bathroom was immediately above the kitchen / dining area , where the other three were carrying on with their meal ....
Worried that the sound of her using the toilet might be heard below , she turned on and ran both hand basin taps , to drown out the sound of her using the toilet , just in case .....
She then finished , and returned downstairs .
The following day Arthur `phoned his dad , to ask him what he thought of Marilyn ......
His father replied " Nice girl , nice girl ...................... pisses like a horse ......... " .........
