Did the School Kids Call her 3-Eyes?

 Having seen the movie But the Flesh is Weak (1932) with co-starring British actress Heather Thatcher, I thought she was wearing a monocle to help establish her as the eccentric Lady Joan.  I was wrong.

              Bob and Heather Thatcher in But the Flesh is Weak

I ran across this portrait of Ms. Thatcher with the attached info.:  

"Heather Thatcher, who came from the London stage to appear in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture, "But the Flesh is Weak" with Robert Montgomery, is the only actress in Hollywood who wears a monocle off screen as well as on.  She explains it by saying her right eye is slightly weaker than her left one."  ............Whatever.
