CELEBRIS REPORT
Audrey Geisel, widow of
Dr. Seuss, dead at age 97
Audrey Geisel, the widow of children’s
author Dr. Seuss and longtime overseer of his
prolific and lucrative literary estate, has died.
Random House Children’s Books
announced that she died Wednesday at age
97. She died at her home in La Jolla,
California.
Dr. Seuss, whose real name was
Theodor Geisel, died in 1991 and
two years later Audrey Geisel
founded Dr. Seuss Enterprises.
Over the past quarter century
“Dr. Seuss” has proved a highly
profitable, multimedia brand,
from books and films to theme park
rides and the Broadway show “Seussi-
cal.” According to Random House, more than
10 million Dr. Seuss books sell each year and
new works continue to come out, such as last
spring’s “Dr. Seuss’s First 100 words.” The
2000 film version of “The Grinch Who Stole
Christmas,” which starred Jim Carrey, was
a box-office smash, although Audrey Geisel
despised — as did critics — the 2003 adapta
tion of “The Cat In the Hat” that starred Mike
Myers of “Austin Powers” fame.
“I never saw ‘Austin Powers,’ but I knew
‘Yeah, baby!’ and I didn’t want ‘Yeah, baby!’
at all,” she told The Associated Press in 2004.
Geisel is credited as executive producer
of last month’s film release “The Grinch,”
which stars Benedict Cumberbatch.
She was a Chicago native and former nurs
ing student at Indiana University whose par
ents broke up when she was little and who as
an adult would be in the middle of two
broken marriages. She and Theodor
Geisel, who was 17 years older,
were both married to others
when they began an affair in the
1960s. Theodor Geisel’s first wife,
Helen, killed herself and Audrey
Geisel sent away the two daugh
ters she had with her first husband
after she and the author married in
1968.
“They wouldn’t have been happy with
Ted, and Ted wouldn’t have been happy with
them. He’s the man who said of children, ‘You
have ‘em and I’ll entertain ‘em,’” Geisel, who
later reconciled with her daughters, told The
New York Times in 2000. “Ted’s a hard man
to break down, but this is who he was. He
lived his whole life without children and he
was very happy without children. I’ve never
been very maternal. There were too many
other things I wanted to do. My life with him
was what I wanted my life to be. ”

ARIES (March 21 -April 19).
You’re energized by human
interaction. You forget that
sometimes because life in
public is rife with lines, traffic,
constant negotiations over mi
nor territorial issues... bottom
line, it’s worth it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
When you can see the best
and worst in a thing and love
the whole range, that’s a good
relationship. You have it with
yourself, and with your closest
people, this is peace.
GEMINI (May 21-June21). In
many ways, you feel you’re in
the middle of nowhere, distant
from the main action, fields
and forests and deserts away
from what you meant to be do
ing. But the important thing is
that you’re not lost. You’ll get
back on track tomorrow.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Reward systems will work par
ticularly well today. Whether
you’re dealing with yourself or
others, the rules are the same,
for every right move, give a
treat.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Simple
measures keep you organized,
for instance a hook for your
keys or keeping your wallet in
the same place every time. It
bears repeating. Keep close
tabs on personal items this
afternoon.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The
calm before the storm is an
exciting, anticipatory moment
in weather, and in relation
ships, but only those who have
been through a storm are keen
enough to recognize the mo
ment.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23).
What’s needed is a fresh take
on things. Build on what’s been
established, and then put a
twist in it. This will work with
recipes, small talk, projects,
and almost anything you en
counter today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Feel like you’re trying to im
press someone? Good notic
ing, and you should stop your
self before you go too far with
this. What’s most impressive,
of course, is someone who
doesn’t need to.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). The truth is an excellent
starting place. If someone is
treating the truth like it’s the
plan B or C — the stunt to
pull when all else fails — that
should be a major warning
sign.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
It’s said that persistence wins
out, but much depends on
the what’s being persisted. Of
course repetitive action will
eventually make progress, but
is it working? Is it smart?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The framing of things has im
pact on their appreciation and
understanding. This will be true
of art and more true of your
view of people and interper
sonal dynamics of the day.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Consider taking the same
people to a new environment.
You’ll see another side, learn of
hidden strengths and have fun
in a way you wouldn’t have in
your typical setting.
