You never
know who you might sit next to in the barber shop or beauty shop.
Not long ago
in the beauty shop Anna talked to Leslie E. Stern, who, it turns out is the step-daughter of Iwao Takamoto.
Iwao
Takamoto was well known as being one of the best known animation artist for
Hanna-Barbera Productions. He is known
to have created a number of the characters that became household words.
Leslie was
five years old when his mother married Iwao.
Iwao was the only father she knew.
She wrote a book LIVING WITH A
LEGEND about her formative years
with a legend. Adam gave the book as a
birthday gift to Anna.
We are
looking forward to readying it.
Maybe one time in the barber shop I sat next to Carl Barks, Disney's chief cartoonist before he died. Who knows?
