Robert Frank, Elevator- Miami Beach 1955
Ms. COLLINS: I think he saw in me something that most people didn’t see. You know, I have a big smile and a big laugh. So people see, you know, one thing in me. And I suspect that somehow Robert Frank and Jack Kerouac saw something that was deeper that only people who were really close to me can see, and it’s not necessarily loneliness, it’s, I don’t know, dreaminess.
