Mona Freeman

Mona Freeman charms me less for her fame than for her second act. Born in Baltimore in 1926, she rose during Hollywood's golden age, often cast as the fresh, pretty young woman of the moment. What I find admirable is what she did afterward: from 1961 she concentrated on portrait painting and built a whole new creative life with a brush in hand. That refusal to be defined solely by stardom suggests real inner strength. Living to eighty-seven, she got to know both the glitter of film and the quiet labor of the studio, and that strikes me as a richly lived life.
