There’s a new biography about Sylvia Brett Brooke, the notoriously legendary, Queen Consort of the last White Rajah of Sarawak. Entitled “Best Exotic Kingdom”, it includes an account of the evening the “Ranee” “spurned” Errol’s proposal that he play “The White Rajah”. Meeting Errol, Lili & their pet Persian cat left a lasting impression on Queen Sylvia, one she herself described:
Though The White Rajah was never made, Warner Brothers did creatively use the title in Boy Meets Girl, starring James Cagney & Pat O’Brien, with a young Ronald Reagan “premiering” The White Rajah.
