How about a picture of her?

There's a nice one of her holding the "Boy with toy grenade" photo in a book I have, but I don't believe it's copyright-free. RodC 01:36, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

• Where do these photograph interpretations come from? For example, Some viewers see how the man's unusual body has not interfered with a normal, happy homelife. Others viewers see a stiffness in the parents' postures that shows a gulf between Eddie and his family. Others still see surprise in Mrs. Carmel's expression looking up at her son, as if for the first time. It's odd reading this, since I know rather precisely that two of the three intepretations are hooey; my personal experience being [[WP:OR|], it's irrelevant, but whose interpretations are those? --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 20:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

How did she commit suicide, and why is the movie called "Fur"?

She slit her wrists and took barbituates. It might be called "Fur" because her father was a fur dealer in the 30s and 40s and in her last apartment she had a coverlet made out of many fur scraps for her to sleep on.

[edit] Dee-ann???

This is the only place I have ever seen her name referenced as being pronounced "Dee-Ann" .... can anyone provide any evidence to back this up? It's odd to me that no biography I have seen agrees with this. I most certainly do not know for sure but for someone so famous to be almost exclusively called by the wrong pronunciation with only Wiki knowing the correct......

Yes, her name is pronounced Dee-ann. And she never taught at Hampshire College, but did teach at Cooper Union and RISD. Hampshire admitted its first students in 1970.
