Theresa Sims

I met her at the Bloom Cafe

on Pico in Los Angeles. She is 97.

Her husband, Paul Sims, was a host

at Chasen's restaurant in Beverly Hills,

and died in 1988. She is bright and

seemingly happy though she confessed

to me that she doesn't feel well, she's anemic,

and, she said in a hushed voice,

"I don't have any sex."

 

I took many photos of her, all of which

are wonderful. She ate some bean soup

which she loved - said she's been losing

a lot of weight, and rarely has an apetite.

But she said she sometimes has parties

for friends, and would like to invite me.

I'm glad. I'm there.
