 Alice Ayres came to renewed public notice with the release of the 1997 play "Closer" by Patrick Marber and the 2004 BAFTA Award- and Golden Globe-winning film "Closer" based on it starring Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts, Jude Law and Clive Owen.A key plot element revolves around the memorial tablet to Ayres at the Memorial to Heroic Self-Sacrifice in Postman's Park, in which it is revealed that the character Jane Jones (played by Portman in the film), who calls herself Alice Ayres for most of the story, has in fact fabricated her name and identity based on the tablet on the memorial, which she reads at the time of her first meeting with Dan Woolf (played by Jude Law) near the beginning of the film.The park, and the memorial to Ayres, feature prominently in the opening and closing scenes of the film.
