Footballers David Beckham, Michael
Owen and Wayne Rooney should take note. Theirs are not the only legs worth a
fortune. According to the Evening Standard, the 41-inch pins of
Leigh Zimmerman,
currently starring as statuesque Swedish secretary Ulla in THE PRODUCERS at the
Theatre Royal Drury Lane, have been insured for $1 million (£540,000). That’s
our favourite of the staggering statistics now circulating about this
blockbuster hit. Other notable figures include £1 million (the amount the box
office took last week after the show opened to ecstatic reviews) and £20,000
(the weekly wage packet – times two - for stars
Nathan Lane
and
Lee Evans).
