Bizarre as was the name she bore, Kim Ravenal always said she was thankful it had been no worse. She knew whereof she spoke, for it was literally by a breath that she had escaped being called Mississippi. “Imagine Mississippi Ravenal!” she often said, in later years. “They’d have cut it to Missy, I suppose, or even Sippy, if you can bear to think of anything so horrible. And then I’d have had to change my name or give up the stage altogether. Because who’d go to see – seriously, I mean, an actress named Sippy? It sounds half-witted, for some reason. Kim’s bad enough, God knows.” And as Kim Ravenal you doubtless are familiar with her. It is no secret that the absurd monosyllable which comprises her given name is made up of the first lettersof three states – Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri – in all of which she was, incredibly enough, born – if she can be said to have been born in any state at all. | |
