Streetwise (1984 Film) - Tiny

Tiny

When Streetwise was nominated for a 1984 Academy Award for documentary, Tiny attended the Oscar ceremony with Bell and Mark. Despite Tiny's celebrity, however, her life did not radically change track. Mark has returned to Seattle to photograph Tiny many times since 1983, and photographs of Tiny have appeared in Mark's later books, which reveal that in the years after the Streetwise projects, Tiny continued her prostitution, became a drug addict, became obese, and gave birth to nine children fathered by several different men. In the mid-2000s, however, Mark and Bell's 23-minute film, Erin, revealed that Tiny had cleaned up and settled down with a husband and her minor children.

Famous quotes containing the word tiny:

    Death,
    I need my little addiction to you.
    I need that tiny voice who,
    even as I rise from the sea,
    all woman, all there,
    says kill me, kill me.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    pulling off the fat diamond engagement ring,
    pulling off the elopement wedding ring,
    and holding them, clicking them
    in thumb and forefinger,
    the indent of twenty-five years,
    like a tiny rip leaving its mark....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision blot out the glory of the world, and leave only a margin by which we see the blot? I know no speck so troublesome as self.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
