James Franco + Cats
“All my recent cats have been named after characters from books or the literary world. Sammy’s named after Sammy Glick from [Budd Schulberg’s] What Makes Sammy Run, and Zelda is named after Zelda Fitzgerald. You can see some of their hair.”
Happy Mother’s Day!
James Franco + Betsy Franco
“Painting was my passion, but I needed to make money. Then I had James and [his brother] Tom, and those two were so mischievous and curious they had to be distracted while I was working or else and they probably would have eaten the paints!

That’s why educational publishing was so appealing and eventually gave way to my own writing projects.”- Betsy Franco
