Sleeping Over at Judy Blume’s House

http://player.vimeo.com/video/64609111

“And now Judy Blume is here at the Key West airport in a turquoise Mini convertible. She’s petite and bird-boned, clad in melon-colored capri pants and a gray V-neck T-shirt, moving with the nimbleness of a woman half her age. Her eyes are brown and bright, her face is framed by springy curls, and her smile is dazzling. (‘At my age, my smile is all I got,’ she jokes.) She has warmly welcomed a total stranger — a journalist, no less — to stay overnight in the home she shares with her husband of 26 years, George Cooper, a former Columbia University law professor. On the drive through Key West, Blume checks in constantly: Do you have on sunblock? Do you need to borrow a hat? Is your seat belt on and secure? At her airy, modern home, Blume worries aloud about the number of towels and quality of the soap in the guest bathroom.”
 — EW’s Sara Vilkomerson lives the dream. Sara, how WAS the soap!?

Also: The movie adaptation of Judy Blume’s Tiger Eyes is due out June 7, via on demand and iTunes. (Trailer above.)
