  1. I’m at once drawn to the similarities between their supernatural qualities, Pharaoh as a deity and Farrow as the mother of Satan’s spawn. It’s also interesting to note that in the South we would pronounce both like Fay-row. “In Death on the Niiile, Meeea Faaayrow goes crazy at this Egyptian temple with all these Phaaaraoooh’s in the background…”
