When Celia met David...
I can't wait for the Celia Birtwell book! Shel was interviewed in 'Lula' Magazine by Celestine Cooney and was asked:
How did you meet David Hockney? Why do you think you ended up being the subject of many of his paintings?
"I met David in 1968 through a friend Peter Schlesinger. David was a Yorkshire lad, I was a Lancashire lady and we just clicked. I think we had similar family backgrounds, they were both quite eccentric. I find him very intelligent and very funny, I think he finds me funny too, so there is a mutual understanding."
This certainly echoes what she said in the Vogue interview quotes posted by NM! I loved the stories about his parents. Must be a Northern thing...
