My Fifteen Minutes of Fame (From Behind)

[sdelmonte]

This review of a new exhibition at The Jewihs Museum ran in the NY Times yesterday. (Yes, it ran on Rosh Hashanah. And the Daily News ran a review of the same show on Tuesday. Go figure.)

If you click on the link marked "More Photos" right below the photo of the triplets, you get a slideshow. Scroll to the fourth image.

If you have done this, you will see the back of my head. The photographer from the Times used me as a model of sort to play the part of "museumgoer." I guess my fifteen minutes are here. Sort of.

Is my photo still there?

Or was it taken down years ago?

It's still on view. In fact, when the Bursteins came to see the Museum in July, the first question they asked was "is that Deb?"

One day, I'll see it for myself.

We didn't so much as ask, "Is that Deb?" as say, "Hey, that's Debbie Baker, isn't it? Wow."

Alex, the back of your head is the most handsome back of the head I've ever seen. No wonder why they wanted it for the photo. :-)

That is most definately unmistakably the back of your head Alex.

May I have your autograph?

And the Oscar for best performance as a museum-goer goes to...

That's awesome. :)
