Sabrina Figures It Out

LONDON, Friday: One evening, not long ago, a buxom blonde, weighing 10st and saying nothing, appeared without warning on television.

The effect was as shattering as a blow between the eyes. Or maybe two blows.

Chairs were hitched for ward, pictures more sharply focused, never were cathode ray tubes so closely scrutinised.

Sabrina had arrived -- 140 lb. of proud girlhood, 39.5 in. of it above the waist.

She said nothing. She did nothing.

But she must have done it rather well.

For since then Sabrina has:

Received six proposals of marriage. (One enthusiast wrote: "We could make £500 million together.")

Had a coffee bar and two monkeys named after her.

Had invitations to open fetes, present prizes, model bathing suits,all for a hundred guineas or more an appearance.

And now she is going to make a film.
