When Cindy Sherman was a child, she spent a lot of time at the mirror, dressing up and fooling around with makeup. "I would dress up as an old lady and walk around the block and fool the neighbors, things like that," she said. As an art student in Buffalo, NY, she became notorious for going out in public dressed as Lucille Ball. When asked about this, the artist said that it was a way both of "pacifying myself when I was depressed" and "a way of being entertaining at parties." .
