After seeing James Stewart in ‘Harvey’ in London about 1971, I met him at the stage door and asked him if PIE was still alive. After that he was so terrified of people that he would run to the back of his stall when someone tried to go in. I feel that the strength of my relationship with my Pie was inspired by the story of Jimmy Stewart and his Pie. After filming National Velvet, King Charles was given to Elizabeth Taylor as a present for her birthday.
