[@2degucitas]

Willis Lynn very elegant and refined

[@alexisrose1457]

Willis Lynn yes

[@vickichristensen422]

She was a sick person.

[@terry4137]

Was that her lover and companion?

[@SeLaVie123]

This helps me so much.. I'm actually playing Alice in a newly written play, called Genius, based on Gertrude Stein. Thanks for keeping this piece of history up.

[@2degucitas]

Miranda Flack can you tell me what you learned of her? was gertrude bad to her?

[@YouAreSoRight]

It is too bad the audio can't be fixed, by modern methods, so that folk can understand what she's saying; there is slight microphone failure, by modern standards.
.
It's good and why there is a transcript available.

[@patblah]

this should be included as an appendix to Stein's Autobiography of ABT

[@damiancourtis7513]

Agree 100%!!!!

[@everettduncan7543]

That sounds like a strong mission brogue

[@walkmehome22]

does anyone have a working link? to the full interview

[@buzzawuzza3743]

I would have bought all of those Picasso and Matisse paintings except that Gertrude Stein beat me to them because I wasn't alive then.

[@herasmarket]

she never took off her rose colored glasses!

[@terry4137]

Was the lady talking @Stein ?

[@2degucitas]

who keeps talking over her? rude.
