Elizabeth Taylor has reportedly left the hospital, and is home and resting comfortably - even planning trips to Europe and Hawaii. Good for her.

The news follows some apparently overstated reports that the 76-year-old actress was gravely ill and on life support.

The whole episode inspired me to look up a time many years ago when she checked into a different kind of hospital -- General Hospital. In these outtakes, she seems to be having a tough time remembering her husband's name. Who can blame her? Poor thing was married eight times, after all.

I hesitated to write about this, since I don't really know the answer, but I guess even the question is fun.

Did Alfred Hitchcock make one of his famous cameos in drag in North by Northwest? Check out this frame grab in London's Telegraph. The idea has gotten some media traction in Britian and India, less so on this side of the pond.

I've seen the film many, many times, and it crossed my mind years ago that she did look a bit like the Master of Suspense, but I thought she looked much smaller. Of course, Hitchcock's quirky, dark humor and fascination with homosexual subtext has been much discussed, and there's more than one story of his dressing in drag to amuse party guests. Still, I think we'd have heard about this by now if it were true. Maybe it's J. Edgar Hoover.

Most commenters seem to think it's Jesslyn Fax, a character actreess who had a long career in TV and movies, and a role Hitchcock's Rear Window. I'll leave it to smarter people with better eyes, facts and/or technical equipment to figure it out. Meanwhile, the actual movie always bears repeat viewings!
