'Blanche, Augustine, and Geneviève found themselves in the hysteria ward of the Salpetrière Hospital in 1870s Paris, where their care was directed by the prominent neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. They became medical celebrities: every week, eager crowds arrived at the hospital to observe their symptoms; they were photographed, sculpted, painted, and transformed into characters in novels.'-http://www.amazon.com/Medical-Muses-Hysteria-Nineteenth-Century-Paris/dp/0393025608?ie=UTF8&tag=ilseilsa-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969
i must have j. irons on the brain because when i saw this beautiful face i thought of jeremy's wife, sinead cusack. sinead is a terrific actress. she comes from a family of actors. katharine kepburn was a fan! she and jeremy have two sons and who knows how many stories they are saving for their autobiographies.
