When two dollars is worth four-hundred, or more
Here's a real curio. On eBay, someone is selling a two dollar bill apparently signed by Louise Brooks. The bill dates from 1976, and the signature looks right. However, there is no story of how this piece of American currency came to be autographed by Brooks.
Hah! It's like my cynical old art school teacher used to say - and this is the thing that drove Louise crazy - "its the purpose of artists, to make money for other people".
