Sometimes obits are fun to read because you get to learn about people you otherwise would not have heard of, like Gussy Moran, whose bio is the ultimate Los Angeles saga: She grew up in a Victorian home just steps from the ocean in Santa Monica. She was a stellar tennis player, and among the people who encouraged her in the sport was Charlie Chaplin, who also helped her get a small role in a Katharine Hepburn/Spencer Tracy film. She ended up at Wimbledon, where she caused an uproar by wearing a short, short skirt. And (this is L.A., after all) ... she was married three times, the first time when she was 19. How long will it be, I wonder, before her story is made into a movie?: http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-gussy-moran-20130118,0,1457993.story
