Photo: Small Time Crooks, Woody Allen, Tracey Ullman and Hugh Grant
So, Hugh Grant has sold his Andy Warhol portrait of Liz Taylor (no, NOT Liz Hurley, in case you thought I got my Lizzies confused!) for a whopping $23.7m (£11.4m) at a New York auction.
There are some discrepancies in the amounts reported that Mr Grant paid for the painting in the first place but he's easily made millions so he has proved himself to be a shrewd investor.
Woody Allen fans will remember Hugh Grant's performance in the film, Small Time Crooks with Tracey Ullman, where he introduces Ms Ullman's character, Frenchy, to the wonderful world of art and all things high society (well, New York society). It's a fabulous film.
In the meantime, the tabloids are full of pictures and stories about the OTHER Liz in Hugh's life, Liz Hurley. That cheeky pair played cat and mouse with the paparazzi as they flew over to NYC for a dinner party. Yes, that's right, a dinner party. Now that sounds my kind of life!
Yes, when all is said and done, Mr Grant has done rather well off the back of the two women, named Liz, in his life. Both know how to make a big impact when it counts!
So, a case, methinks, of real life imitating art!
Woof Woof
