Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Professor Henry Higgins was a pimp? Quite possibly…if you ponder the dubious hero of My Fair Lady and his professional tactics. He plucks young ladies off the streets, tidies them up, teaches them how to talk right and puts them on display for others to gawk at. A pimp prototype for future generations. Who knew? Fifty years ago, Broadway was introduced to the questionable Higgins, played by Rex Harrison, and his ambush makeover subject, Eliza Doolittle, with a pre-Poppins Julie Andrews in the role. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the stage production’s debut, the Fine Arts Division of the Dallas Public Library will host a free screening of the Oscar-winning movie starring Audrey Hepburn. Never mind that the movie itself is only 42 years old. See it at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Performance Space on the fourth floor of J. Erik Jonsson Central Library, 1515 Young St. Call 214-670-1643.
Sat., March 18, 2 p.m.
