<p>By Emily Mitchell/Reported by Kathryn Jackson Fallon
</p>
<p> Encouraged by her mentor and lover, Marcel Duchamp, actress
Beatrice Wood turned to art. Her painting of a female nude with a
real cake of soap strategically positioned set off a scandal in
1917. She began making ceramics in the '30s, earning praise for
her iridescent glazes. Having just turned 97, she lives in
California and is spending "36 hours a day" preparing for four
upcoming exhibits. Says she: "It's far better to have a little
talent and work hard than to have a great deal of talent,
because then you don't work as hard."
