“A celebrated plastic surgeon, such as Sir Archibald McIndoe, automatically, even as he is introduced socially to a fellow guest at a party, is taking in a tuck here, and eliminating a sag there. All the inexorable, unwanted signs of the outward decay that often does not match the inner fire. On one occasion, I asked Archie McIndoe if he considered that the faces of all women would be improved, at a certain stage of the journey, by surgery; it is not surprising that I have not forgotten his reply. ‘There is one face that I would not want to touch. It needs no help from me. It is the face of Vivien Leigh’.” -Godfrey Winn
