Al Hirshfeld, 99, Dies; He Drew Broadway

“To be the subject of a Hirschfeld drawing endowed one with a special cachet. To find the word ‘Nina,’ the name of his daughter, hidden several times in the lines of his caricatures, was a weekend pastime for millions of readers. Next to his signature he put the number of ‘Ninas’ in his drawings, creating a sort of pleasurable Sunday game for his admirers.” —Al Hirshfeld, 99, Dies; He Drew Broadway (NYTimes)

  1. I visit friends in Ft Myers and they have several Hirschfeld prints and the one that has all the Hollywood stars at tables, in which there are about 30 or so, I have studied that print for hours and cannot find NINA. It is driving me crazy, I am going in a few days and would ever so thankful if you or you people could tell my where that young girls name is, this way I can spend more time with our friends and enjoy their company. Please help in this matter,
    Thank you very much for your time and effect
