A forty-year-old, uneaten marzipan model of sci-fi movie alien E.T. has been uncovered by the relatives of a film buff after he died. Former cinema projectionist Jim Robson was a massive fan of Steven Spielberg's classic 1982 film E.T. - the Extra Terrestrial.
He kept but never ate the £1.75 marzipan treat which one of his daughters bought for him from a bakery when the film was first released four decades ago. Now, a year after Jim's death, daughter Mary Duke has uncovered the little confectionary among items she has inherited from her father.
Mary, 48, says she keeps the edible model of E.T. on display at all times. Jim, from St Albans, Herts, died aged 92 on April 2, 2021.
