How neat! I'm going to go bookmark the interview now :)
She is amazing! One of my favorite books is Century Girl. I could look at it for days! Have you read it? http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780060853334/Century_Girl/index.aspx
What an amazing article, thank you for mentioning it! She is such a special treasure...the world will lose more than just a life when (sadly) one day she passes, and the Ziegfeld era remains alive not in the first hand memories of those who lived it, but merely in history books.
