Every time I meet someone named Ernest, I always say this play's title. People used to know right away what I was talking about. Unfortunately, the younger generation doesn't.

Amazing man witty, deep & brave. I love his saying “all of us are in the gutter but some of us are looking up at the stars”.

TwistedArtist82324, only one I ever knew was the music director at church when I was growing up. His brothers were Honest ( pronounced Ōweness) and Harvey. They were good old country folks.

Player #25874027, Never completely gone. Names go in and out of fashion. My mother's name was Florence, and popular in the 1920's. Then it disappeared. A century later I keep hearing it used for new babies. So maybe "Ermintrude" will return to fashion.

itchy, Maybe it would cost the site runners money to enable that !!! Or it would let you see how often they contain rubbish? Or how often the whole thing has been illegally plagiarised from other people' work?

He was gay in a time when gay men (and women) were shunned. Many talented and creative people are gay. For example, Elton John.
