On this day in 1908, KAY THOMPSON was born. Sleek, effervescent, gregarious and indefatigable are just a few of the words usually used to describe the actress, singer and author probably best known for the invention of ‘ELOISE’, the poor little rich girl whose life in Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel is a kid lit staple. Among her other claims to fame are the ‘THINK PINK’ number from FUNNY FACE and beinf the Godmother of LIZA MINNELLI.
