"The Greenes marveled at her peculiar tastes and realized that their pinup girl was really an Old Soul. She zeroed in on their records of Bach, Mozart, and Shostakovich, and pored over their books on Renaissance art. "The feelings she had about old, old paintings," mused Milton, "Michelangelo, Rubens, Van Dyck -- that period. Not Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, or Picasso. It was the old ones she liked. I have a print downstairs she gave me of a head that looks like it came from the Michelangelo period. She bought it at an auction. There are certain old things that she heard about and liked, and she went after them personally."
