The T is Silent

Jean Harlow, the platinum-blond star of the 1930s, on being introduced to Lady Margot Asquith, mispronounced her given name to rhyme with “rot.” “My dear, the ‘t’ is silent,” said Asquith, “as in Harlow.”

A second later, Jean Harlow apologized stating, "I'm so sorry, Lady Margot Ass-Quiff."
