ralphsmotorbike: Omar Sharif, Geraldine Chaplin, and Ralph Richardson having a rare light moment on the train through Siberia in “Doctor Zhivago.” Thirty years later, Chaplin recalled making the film: Chaplin reserves her fondest memories of the production for the beloved actor Sir Ralph Richardson. “He kept giving me books by Ivy Compton-Burnett,” she said, referring to the English comic novelist. “I was all of 20–and a very young 20! I think he was trying to make me read. He was batty! He had this hamster. I went one day to have tea, and the whole of the Ritz Hotel had pulled up the floorboards, because Blossom, his hamster, had escaped. There was Ralphie all over the hotel saying ‘Blossom! Blossom!’ Blossom was the love of his life!” -- source link
