Bill Tytla - Marriage

Marriage

One evening of 1936 in the art classes of Don Graham, a vibrant and beautiful 22-year-old actress and fashion model from Seattle named Adrienne le Clerc posed for the animators, including Tytla. She shared his volcanic temperament, but admitted "My glass was half-filled with enthusiasm, his often half-empty with self-doubts. We were, however, definitely yin and yang". Their thirty-year marriage began on April 21, 1938.

Clearly, she was a great inspiration and support for her husband although she complained that in order to get her husband's attention when he was intently working on his animation, she had to stand in the doorway naked.

Famous quotes containing the word marriage:

    Divorce is probably of nearly the same date as marriage. I believe, however, that marriage is some weeks the more ancient.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    What is marriage but prostitution to one man instead of many?
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    We lov’d, and we lov’d, as long as we could,
    Till our love was lov’d out in us both;
    But our marriage is dead, when the pleasure is fled:
    ‘Twas pleasure first made it an oath.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
