...home they shared high on a hill by the ocean. They were married in 1968, long after the rest of the world had fallen in love with him, and still she keeps him close, just steps from the study where a hat-wearing cat and a Christmas-stealing Grinch and a Who-hearing Horton once scampered across the drawing board...
...Theodor Seuss Geisel, who was best known as Dr. Seuss and sold up to 400 million books, would approve of his final resting place, for there was a bit of the Grinch in him. He cherished the solitude of his mountaintop retreat, and he never had children of his own. ("You make 'em, I amuse 'em," he famously said.) He doted instead on the menagerie of misfits and mischiefmakers who have populated his children's books since 1937's "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street." Unlike Walt Disney and Charles M.

In the early 1980s, he expressed interest in seeing his work turned into video games, and at the time of his death he was writing the screen adaptation of "Oh, the Places...
...Without Seuss's guiding hand on the live-action Grinch movie, producer Brian Grazer and makeup artist Rick Baker argued whether the citizens of Who-ville should look odd (Baker's choice) or cute (Grazer's), and debate raged over what shade of green the Grinch should be. Because Seuss's own illustrations in his book were too austere for a splashy holiday movie (his Whos lived in thatched huts), production designer Michael Corenblith had to comb through the entire Seuss canon to find recurring shapes and motifs on which to base the film's swirling, elaborate sets...
