    The colorful eccentrics come from the South. It’s the heat.

    The article neglects to mention that Scott and Zelda’s home in Montgomery is now an international tourist destination and the only museum dedicated to the couple in all of the world. The museum also boasts 2 new Airbnd apartments that allow visitors or artists in residence to comfortably stay overnight or for extended periods on-site at the museum. You can find out more at http://www.thefitzgeraldmuseum.org.

      Sheryl Sallas McBride Thanks. There’s someone here with a similar name. Someone plays her at the annual cemetery walk.

      Deborah O’Neal, that sounds so interesting. I have a great aunt that is buried in Maple Hill Cemetery. Her name is Hallie Adams Hendrix. She passed in 1915. Grave is unmarked to my understanding.

    Zelda died in the infamous Highland Hospital Fire. Dr. Carroll had formerly cured patients as nurses. He was very manipulative. Zelda was not allowed to wear makeup and not look in mirrors. (Vanity) Dr. Carroll had his medical license taken away years before Zelda’s last stay. (Unethical practices, like injecting horse serum into their backs) The M.D. stood for medical director. The nurse that started the fire was a “former”patient. (She had come to Highland because she started fires.) Willie May Hall was charged for the fire, but it is believed Dr. Carroll had hypnotized her. Dr. Carroll used the Fitzgerald’s and their money taking trips with Zelda to Cuba…..
    So much more to the Zelda story
    I believe her few remaining paintings are in her hometown or Birmingham.
