I remember very well when this happened because it was so ironic that this extremely bubbly cute young woman whose career was on the way up suddenly underwent this life-threatening health crisis. She downplays it in this interview but it wasn’t as insignificant as she describes it.

My mom had a pretty serious eye injury at 2 years old in 1941. She got a paper airplane thrown into her eye. And she had a blown out pupil. She was blind in her right eye from 2 years old on. And in 1960 they told her she could finally get a glass eye. So she did. I never knew her without it. Although I do remember a few eye related emergencies we experienced when I was a kid and her eye falling out. Then us scrambling to find it. Once at the public pool, and a few times in the cold Minnesota winter. And I also remember a couple times her eyelid would start growing closed and she would have to get it cut open a sawed to stop them from closing off again and after every few years as she aged, her having to get her bottom lid tightened to keep the eye in. Not working eye muscle makes keeping in your glass eye pretty difficult.
