I didn't know Esther well. She was a friend of friends. After she passed away, there was a box filled with snapshots she'd taken. Many were recognizable theatre celebs of long ago. Other photos were of her and others. Some photos had inscriptions on the reverse, which I've noted. Others had nothing. This box was destined for the trash bin. I saved it.

Firstly, Esther's crumbling scrapbook shows us a woman truly smitten with a pert young thing, one Miss Mimi Berry. A model and aspiring actress, Mimi appeared in many print ads, which Esther painstakingly cut and pasted into her scrapbook....like any fastidious stalker might. This isn't an accusation....I'm just blogging out loud. You be the judge.
