Cindy Sherman
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." .
