The Novel

  • Beam Me Up, Scotty: For some reason, a lot of people think the title is The Portrait of Dorian Grey, perhaps because portrait is a more sophisticated word, and the British spelling of "Gray" is more genteel.
  • Dyeing for Your Art: Sybil, metaphorically: she was a perfect actress because she didn't live in reality.
  • Writing Against Type: A horror story, from Oscar Wilde.

The Adaptations

  • Dawson Casting: 20 years old Dorian played by 30 years old Ben Barnes, Basil and Henry (around 30) played by 40 years old Ben Chaplin and 49 years old Colin Firth.
