Elizabeth Tashjian, the charismatic Nut Lady and creator of the Nut Museum, is the "Talk of the Town" again. The April 18, 2005 issue of The New Yorker included a story in their Talk of the Town section: "The Nut Lady Returns." The story describes Elizabeth's nut legacy, and her recent difficulties with the state.
The New Yorker also repeats the Kate Hepburn story Elizabeth tells: "Years ago, at a Christmas Eve lunch at the home of Katharine Hepburn, who was Tashjian's neighbor, Tashjian began to sing her composition 'Nuts Are Beautiful.' Before too long, 'away flew Kate into the kitchen,' she recalled. 'It irked her that I was a polished artist -- she didn't want the attention not on her.'" [05/04/2005]
