He was ADORED by the world. Know who Catherine reminds me of? Cynthia Lennon, John's wife pre-Yoko. Oh that reminds me; I HAVE read bios of celebrities..the Beatles, Bette Davis, Eric Clapton (his new autobio which was, surprisingly, very good.) and a few others.<br /><br />My first husband was absolutely brilliant and a writer for UPI and AP.

And to be honest, I don't even know who most of the celebrities are who get written up in the tabloids.<br /><br />One of my favorite Einstein stories is about a beautiful actress who went up to Einstein at a dinner party and told him they should marry because with his brains and her looks, their children would be outstanding. He asked her, "But what if they get my looks and your brains?" :)Beejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613166306376742575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164482611955782819.post-35253816171723164732010-02-10T23:10:54.724-06:002010-02-10T23:10:54.724-06:00The idiots that bug me are the ones in the enterta...The idiots that bug me are the ones in the entertainment fields that think they are special and should be treated as such.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164482611955782819.post-37617912932873847822010-02-10T22:40:59.042-06:002010-02-10T22:40:59.042-06:00I think a lot of brilliant people act like asses. ...<b>I think a lot of brilliant people act like asses. Its like they believe fame and talent excuse a lack of social grace.</b><br /><br />Oh come on, Einstein had a hell of a lot of class and social grace in public, he did enjoy insulting closer friends though but they wuz smart enough to face the challenge and not always be offended by it. And he could take it also. <br /><br />My version is a hard cover also, but I didn't buy it, a friend gave it to me because he recognizes that I'm as complex as he was. I'll never gain his fame but I don't care about that.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164482611955782819.post-66539724425376320492010-02-10T21:30:01.902-06:002010-02-10T21:30:01.902-06:00Hi Billy, yes, I read it when it first came out.
