“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no!', I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

GASP. Oh no. I am so sorry to hear this. I had the utmost respect for her. Fashion Fair did so much for the woman of color in terms of visibility and image. The models in the cosmetic ads were always so beautiful. RIP, Eunice.
