- <p> Encouraged by her mentor and lover, Marcel Duchamp, actress
- Beatrice Wood turned to art. Her painting of a female nude with a
- real cake of soap strategically positioned set off a scandal in
- 1917. She began making ceramics in the '30s, earning praise for
- her iridescent glazes. Having just turned 97, she lives in
- California and is spending "36 hours a day" preparing for four
- upcoming exhibits. Says she: "It's far better to have a little
- talent and work hard than to have a great deal of talent,
- because then you don't work as hard."
