...some knucklehead in his soul too. While a genial fountain of joy, Armstrong was a street boy, and he had a dirty mouth. It was his shooting off a pistol on New Year's Eve that got him thrown into the Colored Waifs' Home, an institution bent on refining ruffians. It was there that young Louis first put his lips to the mouthpiece of a cornet. Like any American boy, no matter his point of social origin, he had his dreams.

She is greeted at film festivals, air-kissed in restaurants, waved onto studio lots. The secret of her appeal? Free stuff. If you make Tracy's A-list, you have a standing invitation to visit her L.A. emporium, where you'll be treated with all the respect due a busy insider--including the assistance of a personal shopper.
