A beauty is a woman you notice a charmer is one who notices you.

A woman whose smile is open and whose expression is glad has a kind of beauty no matter what she wears.

My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star as far as looks and attitude kind of like Susan Hayward.

A saboteur in the house of art and a comedienne in the house of art theory Lawler has spent three decades documenting the secret life of art.
