Biography
American artist, cartoonist, author of children's books. Filled with bravado and mischief, his books were a delight to the parents as well as to the kids to whom they were read, books such as "Cat in the Hat," "Green Eggs and Ham" and "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas."
Waggish and animated in his personal life, Geisel was awkward and introverted in public and avoided the position of a public figure. He managed to attract women who sheltered him, taking care of finances, shopping and their social calendar. His first marriage of 40 years ended with Helen's suicide in 1967. A year later he married Audrey Dimond, explaining to a colleague, "My best friend is being divorced and I'm going to Reno to comfort his wife."
The fabled Dr. Seuss died of kidney problems and respiratory failure on 9/25/1991, La Jolla, CA.
