16 • THE ARTISAN FALL 2021 " If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." —Isaac Newton Paul Huntley was someone I considered to be a giant. Born in London, England, July 2, 1933, and just recently passed away July 9, 2021. To say I was in AWE of him was an understatement. I worked as a crew member and then later as a Department Head at the Ahmanson Theatre and was fortunate enough to meet and work alongside of Paul. If you met Paul, you'd know he had a way of calling you "Darling" that could either be telling you are in trouble and messed up terribly or you did exactly as instructed and great job! He was patient and kind and had an onery smile that made me laugh. He was instrumental in creating hair styles for leading women and men all across Broadway shows and more.

When all is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Success is a failure turned inside out; The silver tint on the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are; It may be near when it seems far. So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things go wrong that you must not quit. –John Greenleaf Whittier As always, I am here to listen and help answer questions.
