Rex was looking very uncomfortable holding his glass of orange juice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tony seeing this asked one of the waitresses to furnish Rex with a clean glass plus a full bottle of Bourbon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harrison not being able to resist the temptation proceeded to drink the whole bottle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tony knew full well that when Rex got back home drunk that night his mistress, in Tony\u2019s words, \u201cWould kick the shit out of him.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A little payback from the Jewish boy from the East End.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Newley-on-set.jpg?resize=1024%2C527&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Newley-on-set.jpg?resize=1024%2C527&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Newley-on-set.jpg?resize=300%2C154&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Newley-on-set.jpg?resize=768%2C396&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Newley-on-set.jpg?w=1235&amp;ssl=1 1235w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Newley and Rex Harrison on set<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><\/span><\/span>Warren Beatty, Peter Sellers and the dinner guest<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tony shared a great story about Warren Beatty visiting London, Peter Sellers, a good friend of Tony&#8217;s, said he would arrange for a female dinner companion for Warren. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the night in question Peter picked the phone up and called Warren to say, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have a <em>ten<\/em> for you tonight my dear fellow.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beatty was pleasantly surprised when Peter picked him up at his hotel to find Princess Margaret was waiting in the chauffeur driven car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After dinner Sellers parted company with the couple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Princess Margaret invited Beatty back to her home where, in a large stately room, there was a piano and a beautiful  blazing fire in the hearth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Princess Margaret insisted Beatty stood by the side of a piano whilst she played a short recital for him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This recitation finished with a deceptive cadence, with the Princess\u2019s hands leaving the piano and landing on Warren\u2019s private parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Princess then asked Beatty if he enjoyed her performance? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beatty answered her question with an evening resulting with a combination of crescendos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day Warren phoned Sellers and said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThank you for a wonderful dinner and by the way that was no ten, that was an eleven.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Anthony Newley PT 5  Home footage and Rare Recordings.\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4FbEjUxHhEs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
