Here is my brother's new baby--That's my sister Susan holding her. I scared her to death at first but now she's gotten used to this big guy with the booming voice. Gonna spoil this child if given half the chance.
My Youngest Brother Frank and Brooklyn
This is my youngest brother Frank coming to pick up Brooklyn at my sister's. We did not want to let him have her back! I plan to baby sit as often as I possibly can. Baby's are all magic and this little one is a treasure!
Gertrude Scott
The photo above is of my beloved Trudie ( Brooklyn's great grandmother) Trudie was quite the Flapper when this was taken around 1920. She knew Zelda Sayre who married F. Scott Fitzgerald and it was Trudie who introduced me to the work of Gertrude Stein and the book THE CHARMED CIRCLE about Stein and Toklas and their salon a 27 Rue de Fluers in Paris. Read this book in Jr. High and it eventually changed my life when Tim Burton saw me playing Gertrude Stein on stage and cast me in BEETLEJUICE. I was so glad Trudie lived long enough to see my film debut. Trudie also knew and told me many tales of another famous Alabamian of her generation, Tallulah Bankhead. I owe more than I can ever say to my grandmother, Trudie.
