Jessie Richardson - A Face for the Name

Jessie Richardson

This year's Jessie Awards have been posted. I wonder how many people know who she was and what she looked like. Here is a nice essay (to big to fit in my scanner so I had to photograph it) by the inimitable Vancouver Sun Arts and Music critic Lloyd Dykk.

In the early 80s when I took this photograph the art director would choose the picture. I would never look at any of the others and I would store them in my files. It was only today when I prepared this blog that I noticed this lovely secondary photograph. Also I was able to discern that both of us are reflected in a mirror behind her very much like in some Flemish paintings!
