I can't imagine seeing that in person--on the scene...wow. Amid knows where all of these originals came from(he mentions various private collections in his acknowledgments, and I'd guess the Disney archives too would have helped). <BR/>Say-wouldn't it be fantastic to have a show curated from this material? <BR/> UCLA has a gallery, and there are others that would be nice venues. MOCA, perhaps? I wish that could happen. Why not?Jenny Lerewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668171465801333811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218379.post-1156889982997693932006-08-29T15:19:00.000-07:002006-08-29T15:19:00.000-07:00OHMYGOSH!

You are indeed correct that I misidentifed Betty, which is very frustrating because those are the type of errors that I worked really hard to avoid. But she's not the one in front row in black - that was Ward's secretary whose name I can't remember at the moment. Betty is actually the blonde in the middle back, sitting on the lion (which apparently used to belong to Harold Lloyd). I saw Betty a couple weeks ago and I inscribed her book something along the lines of "I promise to identify you properly in anything I write in the future." :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218379.post-1156856159658950252006-08-29T05:55:00.000-07:002006-08-29T05:55:00.000-07:00Wonderful!
