Very saddened to hear about Pauline Collins. I played her son in Shirley Valentine, and I remember her being exceptionally warm, kind and supportive. In particular, I was spellbound by how deep her eyes were in real life. You could really see the beautiful soul behind them. My love to her family 😔

ps. Congo was born in 1954. He learned to draw near the age of two, when zoologist Desmond Morris offered him a pencil and some paper. Morris soon observed that "Congo would draw circles, and had a basic sense of composition. He also showed symmetrical consistency."
