I didn't realize she had been married to Roald Dahl.

Interesting.

And wow, what a life. Man, she survived a lot.

Strange coincidence for me. Last week I was at the library with the kids, scanning titles. I vaguely remembered a book my 4th grade teacher read aloud about a boy named Danny whose dad was a poacher. Turns out it was "Danny the Champion of the World" by Dahl. Read it last night. Good book.

I just watched a 007 flick where the screenplay was written by Dahl. Neat-o. Dahl also wrote the screenplay for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
