    Watching My Fair Lady tonight.

    Miss Doolittle has a wonderful, God-given talent, mentioned only in Shaw's original play, Pygmalion. I don't know why they haven't included it in other adaptations.

    What talent does she have?

      @jolly oh, man.

      No clue.

      It's been years since I read "Pygmalion." The only thing that really sticks out in my memory is the totally different ending.

            Indeed. Put it in a spoiler if you want others to guess.

                She was good at chopping fire wood.

                Education is extremely important.

                    During Miss Doolittle's six month stay at Professor Higgins' home, she became an accomplished pianist.

                    The professor attributed it to a superior ear for music, since she could not play the piano when she first arrived and never learned how to read music, but could eventually play anything she had heard. It astonished him she could go to a concert and be able to pick out, and eventually play well, the music of the evening.

                      @jolly I have to revisit this play.

                      If I recall, 'Liza's dad was kind of an a-hole as well.
