Birthdays

On this day, July 19, in 1921, Elizabeth Spencer was born in Carrollton, Mississippi. Although she has written nine novels, collections of short stories, a memoir and a play, it is her 1960 novella The Light in the Piazza, about an American mother and daughter vacationing in Italy, that has brought her the most notice, having been adapted into a 1962 film and a 2003 Broadway musical (which won multiple Tony and Drama Desk Awards in 2005). This high school valedictorian has been a teacher for most of her life, except for a stint in Italy where she pursued writing and met her husband before moving to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where she now lives. Today, she turns 97.
