ITEM #49: BOOK – Lovers

I think this book might make a good gift for the cheapskate Valentine (and since this is after Valetine's day - a late gift too!).

I think my brother S and his then girlfriend K gave this to me for my 21st birthday so many years ago. Don’t worry, the pages haven’t rotted with old age… yet!

The book has a good collection of famous couples including Prince Rainer & Princess Grace, Diego Rivera & Frida Kahlo, and Ellen Degeneres & Anne Heche.

Here’s a funny line from the words that go with Ellen and Anne:
“Anne’s taken a lot of flack for what she’s done, but in 25 or 30 years, when we’re still together and out of this business we can look back and laugh. Maybe it’s a horrible thing to say, but Anne and I both had the same reaction when Princess Di died, that she had just found the man of her dreams and then he died, and how could you go on living after that without that person? If Anne goes, I want to go, that’s how strongly I feel.”

It must be horrible being famous and having your words in print…
