The playwright Oscar Wilde once said that one s real life is often the life one does not lead. If this is true of daydreamers, it is also true of artists, whose "real life" is often revealed only in their work. For example, the writer/director Jean Cocteau suffered at times from a disfiguring and painful skin condition. Very likely because of this, his profound identification with the character of the Beast in his 1945 rendition of Beauty and the Beast helped shape the writing and performance of the "monster s" suffering so that it is as authentic and moving to audiences now, as it was almost 60 years ago. [Pg.76]
