From 2014: Margaret Keane and the story behind “Big Eyes”

Walter Keane’s paintings, instantly recognizable through the large and haunting eyes of their subjects, became known all over the world. But Walter never painted it; His wife Margaret did. Lee Kwan spoke with the real-life artist behind the saucer-eyed widows about why she allowed her author to be hidden, in this “Sunday Morning” story that aired December 14, 2014. (Margaret Keane died June 26, 2022 at the age of 94.)
