She knew whereof she spoke, for it was literally by a breath that she had escaped being called Mississippi. Imagine Mississippi Ravenal! she often said, in later years. Theyd have cut it to Missy, I suppose, or even Sippy, if you can bear to think of anything so horrible. And then Id have had to change my name or give up the stage altogether. Because whod go to seeseriously, I meanan actress named Sippy? It sounds half-witted, for some reason. Kims bad enough, God knows. And as Kim Ravenal you doubtless are familiar with her. It is no secret that the absurd monosyllable which comprises her given name is made up of the first letters of three statesKentucky, Illinois, and Missouriin all of which she was, incredibly enough, bornif she can be said to have been born in any state at all. Her mother insists that she wasnt. If you were an habitué of old South Clark Street in Chicagos naughty 90s you may even remember her mother, Magnolia Ravenal, as Nola Ravenal, soubrettethough Nola Ravenal never achieved the doubtful distinction of cigarette pictures. In a day when the stage measured feminine pulchritude in terms of hips, thighs, and calves, she was considered much too thin for beauty, let alone for tights. It had been this Magnolia Ravenals respiratory lack that had saved the new-born girl from being cursed through life with a name boasting more quadruple vowels and consonants than any other in the language. She had meant to call the child Mississippi after the tawny untamed river on which she had spent so much of her girlhood, and which had stirred and fascinated her always. Her accouchement had been an ordeal even more terrifying than is ordinarily the case, for Kim Ravenal had actually been born on the raging turgid bosom of the Mississippi River itself, when that rampageous stream was flooding its banks and inundating towns for miles around, at five oclock of a storm-racked April morning in 1889.
