"The first published picture of me. It was on a cover for "Family Circle Magazine" (at the time was given away for free). The lamb I was holding had to die-- it was a twin and the mother wouldn't nurse it. It seems a sheep only wants one kid at a time. So I had ambivalent feelings, as you can see. My face looks alittle distorted-- half smiling, and half sad."
