Walter Pidgeon and Greer Garson in Mrs. Miniver by William Wyler (1942)
I once worked w/ a woman named Greer and asked after whom she was named.
“An old movie star” she said. “You never heard of her.”
I had, of course, and was shocked she had never seen her namesake in a film. So, I recommended MRS. MINIVER and she loved it, which made both of us happy. #BOTD #FilmSky

Miniver Cheevy
Miniver Cheevy, born too late, Scratched his head and kept on thinking; Miniver coughed, and called it fate, And kept on drinking.

Though my focus here is not mistaking fiction for reality, there’s something deeply toxic about believing you were destined for an earlier time, but instead you’re stuck here. This is a great poem about it from 116 years ago. Maybe it would have been nice to have lived then, when they wrote this way
