Hugh Grant really should have married her in 4W & a F rather than the American slapper Andie MacDowell - disappoints me they didn't go for that plot twist every time I watch the film - at least Dame Kristin could have acted the final scenes - Andie so wooden.

I know what you mean every time I watch that film it feels natural these two should be together but clearly that was not the story the writers wanted to tell. However I think Andi McDowell is great in Groundhog Day

Gerald Ronson is 83 today.

 

The CEO of Heron International was one of "the Guinness Four", convicted in 1990 as part of the Guinness share-trading scandal of the '80s. He was fined £5,000,000 and sentenced to 1 year imprisonment (of which 6 months was served, at Ford Open prison).

 

In the late '90s Heron international almost collapsed, only being saved by virtue of loans, including from Bill Gates and Rupert Murdoch.

 

A long-time supporter of charities, including, he was made a CBE in 2012 for charitable services, notwithstanding his criminal convictions.
