She was recorded in her home in Southern California where she lives surrounded by photographs, sketches, designs for sets and costumes - "souvenirs to help keep the old life alive." Because of the resurgent interest in the history of early 20th century art, there is a strong demand for Antinova to make personal appearances around the country. This surprises her. "When I hung up my shoes so long ago, I never thought to travel again, except perhaps to funerals. More and more funerals." She laughs. "And here I am, a youngster once more."
