Tillie

Oy. She’s such a pain in the …

It took Elie a couple of decades to get used to this overbearing Jewish mother who thinks that she descends from Russian royalty. Tillie the T-Rex in Dior Elie called her – you’ll find out why!

Jewelry? Loves it! Especially big, expensive pieces.

Perfume: Only Shalimar!

Favorite food – Keep it simple – grilled fish and salad – and don’t finish it all!

Advise to others: “You don’t really need the butter on that, do you?”

Married to Max for 50 years and they have a fabulous relationship. Although Elie does have her issues with this woman, she admires her strength and her ever present pride in her family.
