Barbara Dee Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. You don't have to figure it all out at once. Q. How would you describe perfect happiness? A. A balmy, sunny afternoon in July. I plunge into a cool, empty, bug-free pool and swim uninterrupted for as long as I want. Q. What’s your greatest fear? A. Amusement park rides, especially roller coasters. Q. Which living person do you most admire? A. Dara Torres. She's an Olympic champion, a great sport, and an inspiring mom. Q. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be? A. There’s a huge, noisy diner near my house that my whole family loves. Every time we go there I order the same meal: a big green salad and a thick, spicy seafood soup full of mussels, clams, shrimp, scallops and other chewy creatures I don’t want to think too hard about. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s my favorite meal—especially when I’m also able to sneak a few sips of my kids’ vanilla milkshakes. Learn more about Barbara Dee
