...again, my petal. Say it again." The lady complied, and lo, with all the eye-rolling gaucherie of a Groucho Marx-Margaret Dumont coupling, LizanDick were, gasp, together again. She was in London for the West End run of her Broadway hit The Little Foxes. At a lavish 50th birthday party thrown in her honor at a Mayfair nightclub, the pair toasted each other with champagne and by evening's end were dancing cheek to cheek.
