From the New York Times:
“My grandmother, she’s not a normal person. She’s like a character when she speaks. Every day she’s playing like she’s an actress.” These are words of love, and they come from Sacha Goldberger, a French photographer who has turned his grandmother, 93-year-old Frederika Goldberger, into a minor European celebrity.”
