Elaine Lipworth's Interview with artist Beatrice Wood for her 100th Birthday

This is a classic 1993 interview I did with Beatrice Wood at her studio in Ojai when she was 100 - still creating beautiful ceramics and with a brilliant sense of humor. She entertained Stephen and me with lunch, stories from her past ... and shared her secret to staying youthful: young men and chocolate!

You shared this at USM in 1995 and you sent me a VHS tape of this. I shared with many. This has touched me so much and for all who see this. You helped me change my perception on how aging can be... full of grace, beauty, humor, creativity, playfulness, wisdom, and so much more. Thank you Elaine. God bless. XOXO

Sorry, I couldn't clearly understand what she said at the end...about her blanket?

@@mindytachau1344She was implying that she had to sleep with an electric blanket because she didn’t have a permanent partner/lover in old age to keep her warm at night. That was the one imperfection
