Celeste Elegant, with an artistic flair,
Celeste still calls her mother when she needs advice, remembers the birthdays
of every niece and nephew. In the 1920's Celeste moved to New York to
study ballet, was lured to the bright lights of Harlem, became a star
of musical revues. Paris called and she was wined and dined by the avant-garde,
the beau monde and the bon vivants. Exhausted by the French, she returned
to the States. In the 1950's she led her church choir, and in the 1960's,
earned a journalism degree. A fabulous cook, Celeste invented vegetarian
chic, writing the bestserller, The 24-Hour Eggplant Diet. Became
an instant celebrity, attending the 1987 Tony awards on the arm of diet
guru Les Chow. The turn of the millennium found Celeste stocking up on
batteries, bottled water, and fine champagne.
