YOU COULDN'T ASK FOR A KOOLER-LOOKING HUSBAND -- ANNE DICK WAS ONE LUCKY LADY.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on American science fiction author Philip K. Dick, c. 1960, then in his early '30s (age 31-32), photographed by his third wife Anne Dick (formerly Anne Rubinstein, who died in 2017).

"I was married to Philip K. Dick for five years in the late fifties and early sixties, a period when he wrote some of his best sci-fi novels. They were not, as your frequent contributor says maliciously, “speed fueled.” How would he know anyway? I didn’t notice him observing what was going on in my house from the corner of a room. Philip was dedicated to his writing, loved doing it and wrote effortlessly. When I was married to him he was a kind, loving, modest man, helpful around the house, and wonderful with the children. My four daughters remember him fondly. He was a great listener, an entertaining talker, lovable and loving. A paragon of a husband –- for a good while."

-- ANNE DICK (1927-2017), writing to the "New Yorker," after having publishing a regrettable article on her late husband
