(from the discussion with Gloria Stewart at the Cosmic Fury Cameron retrospective)

Gloria Stewart and James Cameron met with Beatrice Wood on her 105th birthday. After dining out, someone mentioned that Wood hadn't touched her dessert, to which she replied, "At my age, the only things I indulge in are chocolate and young men."

Beatrice Wood was an artist, ceramist, and noted celebrity in the art world, called the "Mama of Dada".

She died at 105 years of age; an obituary is here.

The "Mama of Dada"? I think I might have seen her once on the Jerry Springer Show.

....At least that's what her daughter called her.
