In her native Port Arthur, Texas (pop. 56,000), a staid Gulf Coast city dominated by the oil refineries that employed her father, she was an awkward child, part tomboy, part appassionata manqué. Save for a brief stint as a cherubic church soprano, she was an outcast, a rebel against conventions both adult and preadolescent.
