Jeweler Harry Winston fancied diamond sparkles, Rex Harrison (Dr. Dolittle) spoke up for animal heads, Cartoonist Charles Schulz wanted a pine branch atop Snoopy's doghouse, Julia Child recommended pots and pans on a stainless-steel tree, and Leontyne Price wanted her tree covered in opera programs. Pop Sculptor Marisol,-37, was one of the few who eschewed a personal trademark, imagining a tree lying on its side in bed dreaming of its fellow trees in the forest.
