Beatrice Campbell, the British actress who first played Eliza Doolittle in George Bernard Shaw's play, "Pygmalion" (later adapted into the musical and movie "My Fair Lady"), reportedly remarked about couples engaging in illicit sex: "I don't care what they do, so long as they don't do it in the street and frighten the horses.
